Domestic Violence
What Will Allegations Of Domestic Violence Mean For You?
Allegations of domestic violence are quite serious, and unfounded claims can have a significant impact on your life. At the Law Office of Mike Rothman, we understand the grave nature of these types of charges, and we work diligently to help Washington, D.C., and Maryland clients confront these allegations and defend themselves against any charges.
Charges of domestic violence can impact your access to your children and various other areas of your life. An arrest will result in a temporary restraining order or civil protection order, as well as other immediate consequences. Our experienced defense attorney Mike Rothman can help you mitigate the impact of these charges and develop a defense strategy that suits your individual objectives.
The Immediate Impact of Protective Orders
In Maryland, individuals arrested for domestic violence will be subject to a temporary restraining order, called a civil protection order in the District of Columbia. Even though the orders are temporary while the case is under investigation, it could mean the following for you:
-
Unable to return to your home
-
Loss of access to your children
-
No contact of any kind with specific individuals
Violating A Protective Order Leads To More Criminal Charges
Violating a protective order can result in additional penalties and new charges. As soon as possible after an arrest or learning of a restraining order against you, we can take quick action on your behalf. We will help you understand the importance of compliance with the order and how you can protect your interests, as well as develop a sound defense against any violent crime charges against you.

"There isn’t enough space for me to write about my experiences with attorney Michael Rothman. He is an extraordinary person and a lawyer of the highest standards.
Unfortunately, I had to make use of Mr. Rothman‘s legal expertise in a way that I had not planned or wished for. I contacted him in the middle of the night because a relative of mine had been arrested. Not only did he call me back in the wee hours of the morning, but he literally talked to me and counseled me throughout the entire night. I later learned that he wasn’t even in town, but was traveling at that time. Further, I should add that at this point I had not even retained him. Needless to say, I did wind up doing so. Mike is a man of great integrity and compassion, and at all times he has been amazingly responsive by making himself available at any and all times; returning my calls & emails at whatever hour; and initiating contact to share any information that he thought would be useful with respect to my understanding his legal strategy. He has given me complete comfort throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to have the benefit of the best legal representation. He is dependable; trustworthy; responsiveness; has excellent analytical skills; and incredible research, speaking and listening skills. He has truly made one of the most difficult times of my life, so much easier to deal with." - Lorainne Lee
