Canton GA Domestic/Family Violence Lawyer
Spousal abuse and domestic violence increasing: According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, there was a 21 percent increase in calls for domestic violence assistance in a recent one-year period. When the economy struggles, so do married couples and domestic partners. Most domestic violence charges are related to pulling hair and pushing or slapping rather than assault and battery that make the headlines.

We are a family-owned law firm that takes a holistic view of legal problems. This means that our attorneys seek to help couples reconcile whenever possible.
