Domestic Violence
All of our attorneys have substantial experience representing domestic violence victims.
At Shearin Law, we represent both men and women in family violence issues. Domestic violence issues are taken seriously by the courts, and those who are involved in those cases need strong, competent legal representation.
We’re Here to Protect You
Domestic violence victims face various struggles to get their voices heard, and they need strong legal counsel. Attorney Sheila Passenant organized and ran the Legal Representation Project through Safe Alliance (formerly United Family Services). She trained and supervised attorneys to provide pro bono legal representation to victims of domestic violence. Her commitment to helping victims of domestic violence continues now at Shearin Law. In addition, all of our attorneys have substantial experience representing domestic violence victims. We understand how domestic violence impacts you, your children, your job, and your life. We are compassionate and will work to make certain that you and your children are protected.
It is a harsh reality that many people use false or misleading allegations of domestic violence to make the situation more difficult for the other party in a divorce. These allegations can make it difficult for you to see your children or keep your home, not to mention the challenges associated with a potential criminal charge. Our attorneys have significant experience in this area of law, and we know how to effectively represent individuals in protective order hearings who have been accused of domestic violence.
