The Law Offices of Amar S. Weisman represent both victims of domestic violence and individuals accused of perpetrating domestic violence. Our domestic violence practice includes entering cases in the Circuit Court and the District Court because both courts have jurisdiction over domestic violence cases. Each action for a protective order begins with filing a Petition For Protection from Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, or Vulnerable Adult Abuse.

Services Provided to Victims of Domestic Violence In Baltimore County and the State of Maryland.

The first step in assessing a potential domestic violence matter is to determine whether the person eligible for relief should seek a protective or peace order. Protective orders can be sought against relatives, a spouse, an ex-spouse, or an individual with whom you have a child. The next step is determining whether there are grounds for pursuing a protective order. Under the Maryland Domestic Violence Act, one must establish an imminent fear of bodily harm based on an objective/subjective hybrid standard that is nuanced but well understood by Amar S. Weisman.

Elements of the Domestic Violence Case For the District Courts Located In Catonsville, Essex, and Towson.

On the other hand, certain overt elements can cement the case for obtaining a protective order: Shooting the victim with a gun, Stabbing the victim, Biting the victim, Hitting (with an object), Shoving the victim, raping the victim, kicking the victim, Strangling the victim, Choking the victim, punching the victim with a fist, Shoving the victim, and slapping the victim. Matters become more complicated when dealing with “threats” of domestic violence without physical evidence. When prosecuting a domestic violence action, the attorney gathers appropriate evidence, including photographs, hospital records, police reports, telephone records, and witnesses (including compelling court appearances by subpoena).
