Domestic violence is any form of violence that is perpetrated against members of your household. Domestic violence is typified as violence between a husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, or any two people living together in a romantic relationship. Violence against children, siblings, or elderly individuals living with the alleged abuser can also be considered domestic violence. Domestic violence is a serious crime that will damage your reputation if you are convicted.

If you are accused of domestic violence, or if contact with your family is limited by a restraining order, a domestic violence lawyer can help you get your life back on track.  At the Law Offices of John R. Coniglio, we defend individuals facing the following:

• Domestic violence
• Domestic abuse
• Domestic assault and battery
• Domestic battery
• Spousal abuse
• Orders of protection
• Permanent restraining orders
• Temporary restraining orders

As an experienced California domestic violence lawyer, Defense Attorney, John R. Coniglio works quickly and aggressively to mitigate the damages caused by allegations of domestic violence. When a domestic violence disturbance is reported to the police, or when the police hear allegations of spousal abuse, they make an arrest. Additionally, courts often issue protective orders based on allegations of domestic abuse. The protective or restraining order remains in effect for a specified period of time even if the alleged victim recants or changes his or her story. This can create heavy burdens because often temporary restraining orders prevent access to a family's house, including access to collect clothing or other necessities. As a domestic violence attorney, John R. Coniglio works to get restraining orders and emergency protective orders modified or lifted. Modification of a restraining order could allow the individual accused of domestic violence or spousal abuse back into the home, or it could allow for domestic violence counseling as an alternative to a domestic violence prosecution.

Restraining Orders - Attorney John R. Coniglio's domestic violence defense work is also concerned with defending clients who have either knowingly or unknowingly violated the terms of a restraining or protective order. Too often, an estranged spouse or partner (of either gender) violates the terms of such orders by e-mailing or asking a third party to relay a message to the other party. Attorney John R. Coniglio's objective is to obtain resolutions consistent with the well-being of both parties. Contact the Law Offices of John R. Coniglio in Monterey, California. Defense Attorney John R.
