Your Long Island Domestic Violence or Family Law case has various legal aspects that all need to be addressed. At the Law Offices of Anthony J. Colleluori, our lawyers have the broad skills to address all related legal matters involved in a domestic violence case by bundling them into one case.
Why do we recommend having one lawyer represent you in both criminal and divorce matters?
One case simplifies the legal process — reduces legal costs, time, and stress for everyone involved. To treat each matter as a separate legal case (criminal case for assault and battery, civil case for restraining order, civil case to compensate damages, divorce case to dissolve the marriage) means multiple court dates, different judges, and possible contradictory results, all of which create confusion and further strain relationships.
By consolidating the cases, you will have one hearing. You will be able to see how the whole case is shaping up, rather than weighing the progress of multiple cases. One case not only reduces the negative impact on you and your spouse but also makes the process easier on your children.
Divorce is the most litigated issue in family law, with thousands of divorces filed in New York every year. Emotionally devastating for most people, divorce addresses many sensitive issues involving children and property.
Because decisions made during a divorce will affect you and your family for years after it is final, you will need a divorce lawyer who has compassion for your situation and who will work closely with you to make the right choices. The New York City and Long Island Family Law Attorneys at the Law Offices of Anthony J. Colleluori do an excellent job of helping clients with their family law issues, which could include:
