Ocean City Domestic Violence Lawyers
We Also Fight for Clients in Annapolis & Across Maryland
Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pervasive issue that affects numerous individuals in Maryland and nationwide. It involves violent or abusive behavior exhibited in a domestic setting, typically directed at a spouse or partner.
Various offenses fall under the term “domestic violence,” depending on the form of abuse that occurs. Maryland courts take these very seriously to protect alleged victims and their families.
Penalties for a conviction can have a significant impact on your life. Unfortunately, charges can be based on very little actual evidence. In some cases, exaggerated or false accusations can lead to charges arising from an accuser’s spite, revenge, or need to control divorce or custody cases.
