Entrevistador: <\/strong>Is there a typical age or demographic for the accused or the alleged victim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Abate<\/a>: <\/strong>Absolutely not. I\u2019ve had cases involving people who are boyfriend\/girlfriend, husband\/wife, boyfriend\/girlfriend who were engaged and living together in a house, but have not yet bought the house. I\u2019ve had cases involving gay couples, gay married couples, and gay married couples with children. One of the problems is that people have now come to the point where they cannot end relationships on their own, and many times, they will want to get the courts or the police involved to help them end the relationship. Don\u2019t get me wrong, there are horrific domestic violence cases<\/a> out there where there are men and women who require protection, but because the courts want to be open to everyone and want to make a judgment call, it\u2019s very easy to get a temporary restraining order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There Are Tremendous Consequences Associated With The Temporary Restraining Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are tremendous consequences to the temporary restraining order<\/a>. First of all, if a final restraining order is issued, you\u2019ll get placed in a permanent database for domestic violence perpetrators. So, every time you go to your job, you will be asked, \u201cWhy did you do this?\u201d You may very well be prevented from possessing a firearm ever again. If you own firearms, they will be taken away from you. And in fact, one of the first things that happens when the TRO is issued is that the police come to your house. They look to see if you have any guns, and they confiscate them until your case is concluded, and then a hearing can be held to determine if you\u2019re going to be allowed to keep your firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Domestic Violence Cases, It Sometimes Becomes Difficult To Differentiate Between The Victim And The Abuser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Entrevistador: <\/strong>Are you representing clients who have been accused of domestic violence, or you\u2019re also representing victims or how do you represent victims?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Abate: <\/strong>It goes both ways. And sometimes, there are cases where both the parties have restraining orders against each other, and it\u2019s hard to tell at first who is the victim and who is the abuser because one of the things abusers are very good at is blaming the other person. It\u2019s how they control them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Attorney Can Represent Either The Victim Or The Accused<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, we have cases where we represent the victims, and there are people who are very much in need of the protections. And there are cases when we represent the accused and those consist of all the cases where people have, in fact, committed the abuse but they feel that the domestic violence, restraining order, and a criminal complaint are necessary to rectify the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
