Domestic Violence Lawyers

Domestic violence is a frequent occurrence throughout Washington and involves the physical or mental abuse of one person by another who are in an intimate relationship together.  Domestic violence can occur between couples who are:

• Living together or not living together
• Married, divorce, separated or un-married
• In heterosexual or homosexual relationships

Domestic violence can take a number of forms including verbal abuse, intimidation, emotional abuse, isolation, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and denial of rights, just to name a few.  Also called domestic abuse or spousal abuse, this type of environment can be very harmful to all involved parties, especially if children are involved.
