In a perfect world, we would all feel safe in our homes and within our relationships on a day to day basis.   ‘Drama’ would be something that we watch on TV and make a concerted effort to avoid at all costs.  However, such is not the case in many families across the world, and it is a sheer travesty that some still engage in behavior that is harmful to not only loved ones, but most importantly to the children of our upcoming generation(s).  Domestic violence may seem as though it is simply a personal matter, but it is indeed a crime which may require legal attention if charges are filed or a police report is made.

 

Believe it or not, Domestic Violence can be the contributing factor of what started out as a ‘disagreement’ and quickly snowball into a myriad of civil litigation due to injuries, serving mandatory jail time or financial losses for medical care and so on.

 

For over twenty years, LSB has been a staunch advocate in Domestic Violence prevention and has always believed that in order to conquer this epidemic, we must educate one another that abuse within relationships is not normal, nor is it socially acceptable.  Serving two terms on the Governor’s Board on Domestic Abuse for the State of Wisconsin as well as assisting in drafting strong family and criminal law legislation and being  a trained crisis advocate,  LSB will continue to make every effort to see to it that each person is presented with safety measure options and that any legal consequences are addressed fairly and quickly by utilizing all appropriate and available resources.

At LSB Legal,  we can offer you assistance with

  • Documenting alleged abuse
  •  Developing a safety plan
  • Gathering important documents
  • Filing for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
  • Guidance to Crisis Centers and Shelters in your area
  • Referrals to trained and trusted counselors and/or professionals in your area that can help you through this difficult time
  • An entire host of other options, depending on the circumstances and individual needs
For perpetrators, there is help and hope for you as well.   No one wants to spend time away from their family because things went awry at home; there is support for those who seek it, and at LSB Legal, we can suggest other avenues to pursue with counselors, attorneys and/or other professionals in your vicinity.
For more information on this crucial topic, please call LSB Legal directly at (608) 575-4382.  Without question, please bear in mind that ALL inquiries are maintained as confidential to ensure your safety, respect and privacy, as that is paramount.
