Domestic Violence ◦ Rocklin, California, Domestic Violence Lawyer

People often have the misconception that domestic violence must involve physical harm or contact. In fact, domestic violence can take the form of threats or harassment, including unwelcome phone calls, texts, or e-mails.

Contact the law offices of Miller & Associates for legal advice and help if you have been targeted by your husband, wife, ex-husband, ex-wife, boyfriend or girlfriend in a domestic violence situation. Call or e-mail us as well if you have been falsely accused or named in exaggerated allegations of domestic abuse or violence.

Domestic violence is an area of the law where family law and criminal law are both involved. By obtaining a restraining order, you can get an official order from the court for your significant other to stop following you, calling you, threatening you, harassing you or hitting you. If the restraining order is granted and the restrained person violates the agreement, you can call the police to have he or she arrested.

The district attorney may prosecute a person who violates a restraining order. While we do not handle the criminal side of a domestic violence situation, we often cooperate with the criminal defense attorney in a case where our client’s divorce or child custody case may be affected by the outcome of the criminal matter — regardless of whether we represent the accused or the complaining party.

At the law offices of Miller & Associates, we aim to provide efficient, results-oriented counsel and representation in all aspects of family law, including divorce, child custody and domestic violence cases. We are two brothers who practice family law because we believe in our ability to get the job done efficiently and effectively for our clients.

Contact us to schedule a consultation if you need a restraining order or if you need help to protect your interests after you have been falsely accused of domestic violence.
