Domestic Violence Lawyer
The number of domestic violence cases against women is getting higher than before. 

Even though domestic violence is apparent in some cases, some women can't recognize the signs of domestic violence in the rest. 

Once it comes to light, seek legal help to eliminate the violence. The process of getting rid of violence is not complicated.

 

 

Recognizing domestic violence

  • Someone discourages you or prevents you from going to work or study.
  • Not letting you see any friends or family members.
  • Tries to control your life in every aspect, whether visiting a health care provider or how you spend money, what you wear, where you go, who you meet etc.
  • Says hurtful things, insults you, call you disgusting names.
  • Hurts you, your children even your pets physically. Kick, punch, slap, push, chokes you or the others.
  • Threatens you with a weapon.
  • Forces you to engage in physical activities without your consent.
  • Acts possessive towards you.
  • Threats you to reveal some of your secrets in public to humiliate you.
  • Emotionally blackmails you to do activities that you don’t want to do.
  • Gets angry or even hurts you when drunk or under drug influence.
  • Apologizing for their behavior, then repeating the abuse. It’s like a repeating cycle.

 

Seeking legal help

  • Staying with an abuser can be a risk to your life. Whenever you feel you are a domestic violence victim, contact the police on 911 or any other legal emergency helpline in your locality.
  • If you can’t get help immediately, reach out to someone you trust. It can be a family member, a friend, a colleague, a neighbor, or anyone. Inform them about the harassment you face.
  • Call women’s shelters or another national domestic violence hotline at 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233).
  • There are women’s shelters in every locality. Call them or go to your local women’s top for help and safety. The local shelters for women are always available and provide emergency services. You will also get expert advice on legal steps.
  • If you have any injuries, you might seek help from your nearest healthcare provider. Doctors and nurses will help you with immediate treatment and refer you to local safe houses and other resources.
