Queens Domestic Violence Attorney

Ready to Defend You Against Serious Allegations

In New York, domestic violence is known as a family offense because those involved in such crimes shared an intimate relationship. While a conviction can result in harsh criminal penalties such as a jail or prison sentence and fines, merely getting arrested can lead to being subject to a restraining order and losing certain rights.

If you have been arrested for domestic violence in Queens, our legal team at Lebedin Kofman LLP is ready to guide you through the complexities of the legal system and help you obtain the most favorable result in court. We can thoroughly investigate the incident, collect and assess evidence, negotiate with the prosecution, and help you either get your entire case dismissed or your charges/penalties reduced.

New York Domestic Violence Laws

Under New York law, domestic violence is not considered a single offense. Rather, domestic violence is an umbrella term for certain offenses involving individuals who share an intimate relationship with one another.

The following are common examples of intimate relationships:

Current and former spouses
Current and former dating partners
Two people who share children together
Family members related by blood or marriage

New York police officers may arrest a person if there is probable cause to believe the individual has committed a misdemeanor family offense. On the other hand, if there is probable cause that a person committed a felony offense against a family or household member or violated a protective order, the police must make an arrest.

Common examples of family offenses include:

Assault
Coercion
Criminal mischief
Disorderly conduct
Grand larceny
Harassment
Intimidation
Menacing
Reckless endangerment
Stalking
Strangulation
Threats

Orders of Protection in New York

If a person is an alleged victim of domestic violence, he/she can obtain an “order of protection” in New York. Also known as a restraining order or protective order, there are two types of orders: a temporary ex parte order of protection and a final order of protection.

An alleged victim can file for a temporary protective order in family court or, if the family court is closed, in criminal court. If a judge believes there is “good cause” that a victim is in imminent danger of domestic violence, the court will grant the order. The temporary order lasts until the full court hearing.

At the full court hearing, the alleged victim and perpetrator may present their case. If the judge grants the victim the final protective order, it will last up to two years. Yet, if there are any aggravating circumstances, then the final order will be valid for a maximum of five years.

The following are common aggravating circumstances:

Injury
Involvement of a dangerous weapon
Physical abuse in front of loved ones
Previous actions and behaviors that would make a judge believe that the alleged victim and his/her family members are in immediate and ongoing danger
Previous domestic violence convictions

If a person violates a restraining order, he/she can be charged with criminal contempt.

Lebedin Kofman has been great to me. They were very understanding regarding my lawsuit and did everything in their power to help me. Kelsey Was amazing, answered back in a timely manner whenever I had Questions and never made me feel uncomfortable or like It wasn’t worth it.

Lebedin Kofman LLP is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Arthur and his team demonstrate exceptional professionalism and legal expertise.

Not only did they solve the problem, they got the case thrown out. I can't praise their work enough. I've never written a review in my life , but, I had to for Lebedin Kofman LLP.

I was charged with grand larceny. Russ Kofman and his team had all criminal charges against me dropped, I was found guilty of a minor violation. At all times Russ and his associates were available for me and were extremely helpful and professional. I hope that I never have a need for a lawyer again, however Russ Kofman would be my only choice should the need arise.

I had criminal charges against me and needed to hire a lawyer fast. I decided to call Russ Kofman and told him about my case. The cops locked me up and Russ and his team made sure that I was going to get out. Russ told me to keep calm and let him handle everything. Words can’t explain how Russ got me out less then 34 hours and to top it off he made the DA dropped the charges and had the case dismissed.After I got out Lebedin Kofman and I decided to file a lawsuit against the city, and they got me a great settlement.

I contacted this firm after spending nearly a year worrying about the consequences of answering a bench warrant. After submitting my information online I was called later that day and spoke to the attorney. His professionalism and knowledge were immediately comforting and I knew I had made the right move. I appeared in court with an attorney from the firm who guided me every step of the way. I only wish I would I have contacted Lebedin Kofman earlier instead of letting fear of the justice system get the best of me. Thank you Lebedin Kofman for helping me get back on the right track, I would highly recommend this firm.

I had such a great experience with Arthur. I was impressed with how quickly he worked on my case and delivered a result that was beyond what I had expected. He responded to all my questions quickly and allayed my worries. I was lucky to have found him and I would definitely consult him again if any future issues arise.

These guys are great! I am a student in college that made the mistake of drinking and driving. Needless to say, that will never happen again but the entire experience was traumatic. These guys were able to dismiss my criminal charges and find the best possible outcome for my situation. I highly recommend them for their dedication, expertise and professionalism!

I was charged with a DWI last year. I definitely did not know what to do. Until I did my research and found out about this law firm. Amazing lawyers who worked hard on my case and got it dismissed!! I would recommend Lebedin Kofman to anyone looking for a DWI lawyer in NYC!
