Legal Help When Safety and Family Are at Risk

Domestic abuse cases often require quick decisions in an emotional and uncertain time. Illinois law recognizes abuse can be more than physical harm. It can include harassment, intimidation, interference with personal freedom and the deliberate refusal of necessary care. O’Flaherty Law helps clients understand their rights, gather important evidence, and figure out what legal action to take that is best for their situation.

Family Law Matters and Orders of Protection

An Illinois order of protection can stop more abuse, require someone to stay away, limit contact, or give one party temporary possession of a home they share. In some instances emergency orders can be issued without previous notice where the court determines that delay would be a danger to someone. Domestic abuse allegations can also impact divorce, parenting time, decision making authority and other family law matters.

How a Des Plaines Domestic Abuse Attorney Can Help

Every domestic abuse case has different relationships, evidence and safety issues. O'Flaherty Law has the resources of a larger firm but the personal attention clients would expect from a community law firm. Our attorneys can guide you through the process and help you make informed decisions about what to do next — whether you’re seeking protection, responding to an order, preparing for a hearing or dealing with related divorce and parenting issues.
