At Maryland Family Law Firm, LLC., we believe that domestic violence is a misnomer. The real term should be "family violence." Family violence happens to men, to women and to children (whether they are the actual victims of the violence, or "merely" have to observe it).
We also believe that the current statutes in Maryland are devastating to any victim of family violence. Too often, these laws are used to provide an easy "out" for a spouse (of whatever gender) who wants to confuse the courts and gain an advantage in domestic litigation. We can't change the law, but we can, and do, represent victims of family violence, in ensuring their own safety and that of their children, against abusive behavior. We also represent and defend those who are falsely accused of family violence under a statutory scheme that too often protects the abuser and penalizes the victims.
