Have You Been Accused of Domestic Abuse?
As attention over the years has become intensely focused on public concerns over domestic violence, the result has been a dramatic increase in arrests and prosecutions. Unfortunately, this focus has somewhat skewed the criminal justice system and cases that once never would have come before a judge are now resulting in serious charges that can carry long-term consequences.
The Law Office of Stephen Kunken provides domestic violence defense representation for a wide range of clients across Long Island, New York. Depending on the facts of your case, Attorney Stephen Kunken can help you build a unique and custom defense strategy.
When the Law Becomes Involved in Your Family
Any domestic violence arrest can potentially leave the accused facing penalties that include a jail sentence, mandatory treatment, loss of certain rights and even eviction from your home if an order of protection is involved. Make sure the lawyer you hire has the trial experience and understanding of the criminal law justice system to help you.
Many of the cases handled by Attorney Stephen Kunken come as a result of a heated argument between couples with very little or no evidence of physical domestic violence. Just calling the police is often enough to lead to an arrest. The effects are immediate, particularly if an order of protection has been taken out against you.
Domestic violence convictions and orders of protection can lead to:
- A criminal record
- Jail time and probation
- Immediate loss of gun ownership rights
- Required change of residence
- Loss of some parental rights
- Serious disadvantage during a divorce
The Law Office of Stephen Kunken works closely with clients to find out the situation that led to your arrest, and takes actions in and out of the courtroom to help you get back on track with your life.
