Domestic Violence Lawyer Evanston, IL
Domestic violence victims often struggle to find help and the right legal protections. After months or years of abuse and being beaten down emotionally and mentally, it’s hard for many victims to advocate for themselves. Maybe they don’t think anyone will believe them, or maybe they’re afraid of what the abuser will do if they speak up. Between not knowing where to turn and who to trust, taking the first step to end the abuse and seek safety is a feat in and of itself.
If you’re here because you need help and want to know your legal options to escape domestic abuse, you’re in the right place. Our Evanston domestic violence lawyer is a zealous defender of the rights of abuse victims, and we’re prepared to protect you through each step of the legal process. We explain your rights under Illinois law, including the right to financial support from an abusive spouse after you leave the situation and your right to demand exclusive use of a shared home while your case is pending.
We help you file for an order of protection to keep you safe, and document any harassment and threats the abuser makes toward you, so it becomes part of the court record and starts a paper trail. Our attorneys exercise all possible legal options to keep you safe.
