Who Should I Hire If My Simple Assault Charge Involves a Domestic Violence Restraining Order?

Hire a lawyer who handles both the criminal assault case and the related domestic violence restraining-order proceeding. A simple assault allegation involving a spouse, partner, family member, or household member can result in a temporary restraining order, removal from the home, no-contact restrictions, loss of firearm rights, and a separate final restraining-order hearing.

Matthew Cohan and his team understand how these cases overlap and how the evidence in one case can affect the other. They review the assault allegation, prepare for the restraining-order hearing, and work to protect your rights, access to your home, parenting time, employment, and record.

Yes, dismissal is possible, but the outcome depends on the evidence and legal grounds in your case. A lawyer examines the alleged scheme, intent to defraud, and the mailing’s connection to the conduct. Records showing legitimate transactions or good faith help challenge the allegations. Matthew Cohan reviews each case for grounds to seek dismissal, reduced charges, or a defense at trial.
