Domestic Violence in New York
Today, all states have laws that allow an officer to make an arrest if someone is suspected of domestic violence or domestic abuse. Further, New York is one of the states with mandatory arrest policies. This policy requires that an officer investigating a domestic violence situation must make an arrest if there is probable cause that domestic abuse was committed, if there is evidence of abuse or violence and there is reasonable cause that the suspect will continue to commit acts of domestic violence, etc. The victim of domestic violence can ask for an order of protection (such as a restraining order) to gain protection from the abuser. A Long Island domestic violence lawyer at our firm may be able to help you in obtaining an order of protection as well as other legal aspects of domestic abuse.
