Protecting You & Your Loved Ones

Today, all states have laws that allow an officer to make an arrest if someone is suspected of domestic violence or spousal abuse. Further, New York is one of the few 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 domestic violence lawyers in Suffolk County at The Meyers Law Group, P.C. can help protect you from further abuse.
