Snohomish County Domestic Violence Lawyer
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If someone suspects you of a crime, call a defense attorney.
But if it’s not that bad yet you need to consider the possibility of a protection order – where the civil and criminal realms meet. “Harassment” is a specific legal term in Washington State that means certain things and not others. Many people do not realize the protections they can get, or they overestimate the power the government has.
Sometimes you need the bang of the gavel and the finality of a judge’s signature; nothing less will do to resolve your matter. But it may be possible to find alternative dispute resolutions that keep everyone safe and separated without having to go to court.
Whether you need one or the focus of one, Dabney Law Firm can fight for you and make sure you, your reputation, and your family are protected.
