Domestic Violence

San Jose Domestic Violence Attorney

Abuse within the home can be deadly. As such, charges of domestic violence are extremely serious and California courts treat them in an equally serious way.

But it is also true that allegations of domestic violence can, and have been used by individuals unjustly as a weapon against their spouse or other family member.

These same facts also apply to charges of stalking and harassment.

At the Law Offices of Peter R. Hubert, I represent individuals throughout San Jose, the Silicon Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area who are seeking protective orders or who want to have restraining orders or civil harassment orders that have been unfairly imposed on them removed.

California Domestic Abuse Lawyer

Domestic violence touches on aspects of both family law and criminal law. I offer a full range of domestic abuse related legal services and help my clients to obtain, or have removed:

• Emergency protective orders
• Stay away orders
• Personal conduct orders
• Residence exclusion orders
• Civil harassment orders

These orders are granted most often in cases of stalking, sexual harassment, and domestic assault and battery, but even in situations where the person seeking the order only 'feels threatened', the courts may grant them.

Actions that may be prohibited by these orders include contact of any type, including phone, mail, or even an e-mail message, or coming within 100 yards of the person holding the order.

I also provide criminal defense services to individuals charged with felony and misdemeanor domestic violence/spousal abuse offenses. Because I know that many problems can be corrected if handled properly in their early stages, I work with the courts and prosecutors to get my first-time offender clients into domestic violence counseling in lieu of a life-changing conviction.

However, when these allegations are false, I vigorously fight to protect and defend the rights of the accused I represent.
