Domestic violence is much more common than many realize. Its forms include not only physical and sexual abuse but also threats, intimidation, harassment, and emotional as well as verbal abuse. The overall atmosphere of fear and anxiety that it breeds affects everyone in the home, especially children.

While many offenders apologize and vow to change, studies indicate that abusive behaviors tend to cycle and worsen. If you are living with domestic violence it is important you understand your rights and address the issue before it escalates.

At Lombardo Law Firm we are committed to ensuring that you and your family enjoy the safety and security you deserve. Our counsel make full utilization of The New Jersey Domestic Violence Prevention Act to provide firm legal protection for all victims of abuse (including immediate relief in the form of a restraining order), as well as to preserve the due rights of those falsely accused.
