Attorney Kevin Hopper gives information about domestic violence charges and what you can do to protect your rights.
At Hopper Law Firm the allegation of domestic violence is taken extremely seriously. Our clients come to use in two distinct situations. One is where there has been a civil application for domestic violence protective order that is where one of the two parties is alleging that some act of domestic violence has been committed against the other. The second is when someone has been prosecuted for a criminal domestic violence action such as assault, harassing phone calls, stalking; any number of situations that gives rise to what is referred to in North Carolina as domestic violence. It is important to seek immediate representation. On the civil side your constitutionally protected rights are being affected your right to own a hand gun, your right to possession of property. A violation of a civil protection order is a criminal defense. Clearly on the criminal side the threat of criminal prosecution ultimately jail time. It is important that you seek experienced representation as we have at the Hopper Law Firm where we can address both the civil and the criminal aspects of domestic violence individually or collectively to have the best outcome for you and your case.
