More information about our Elgin Domestic Abuse Attorney

Understanding Your Legal Options After Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse can affect all parts of your life including your personal safety, financial security and your relationship with your children. Illinois law provides several legal protections for victims of abuse, including Orders of Protection that prohibit contact, remove an abuser from a shared residence with the victim, and resolve temporary parenting or support issues. At O’Flaherty Law, we help clients understand those options and take prompt action when necessary.

Compassionate Advocacy When You Need It Most

Every domestic abuse situation is different, which is why our attorneys take the time to understand your circumstances before recommending a legal strategy.  We work to protect your rights and guide you through each step of the legal process, whether you need emergency court protection, help with a divorce involving abuse, or representation in a contested family law matter. Our team is dedicated to responsive communication and pragmatic guidance in an incredibly difficult time.

Helping Elgin Families Get Ahead

Protection orders are not always enough when domestic abuse matters. They may also impact child custody, parenting time, child support, or divorce proceedings.  O’Flaherty Law provides a full range of family law representation, so you can get help for all your family law needs in one place. We’re committed to developing solutions that value your safety and support you in creating a secure future for yourself and your family.
