Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects far too many New York City families. Families can be affected by actual occurrences of violence as well as by false allegations that are often used in an attempt to gain leverage in divorce proceedings. In recent years, domestic violence and divorce have been handled in one court rather than in separate criminal courts and family law courts. The matters are now handled in integrated domestic violence (IDV) court.
As a Manhattan order of protection attorney, I represent victims of domestic violence and people who have been falsely accused of domestic violence. I will listen to your side of the story and stand by your side — no matter what side of the story you are on.
At the Law Office of Elliot Green, I represent clients in IDV court. I represent victims and the falsely accused from Brooklyn, Manhattan and the surrounding parts of New York.
Orders of Protection
As a Manhattan order of protection lawyer, I provide comprehensive representation for individuals involved in sensitive and urgent domestic violence matters. If you require an order of protection, or if you have been served an order of protection, please talk to me.
One Judge for One Family
In the past when an individual was faced with a domestic violence matter and a pending divorce, that person had to deal with two courts — the criminal court and the family court. Now, domestic violence matters and divorce matters (including child custody and visitation) are handled in IDV court. One judge handles one family. When you are dealing with these legal issues, you may feel overwhelmed by the visits to court. With this way of handling IDV cases, your court visits can be minimized. Additionally, the judge will be familiar with your entire situation, rather than just one side of it.
