Boston, Massachusetts, Spousal Abuse and TRO Attorney

If you need protection from an abusive spouse, contact Mark Harris Ruby Attorney At Law, in Boston, Massachusetts. We can find quick and immediate resolutions to serious cases, particularly those involving domestic violence.

The Need for Restraining Orders

Restraining orders provide a certain level of protection and peace of mind, knowing that the authorities are on your side. Too many victims of domestic violence do not take action, and the consequences can be serious and sometimes deadly. It can be an important first step in standing up for your rights. We will help you in that important decision.

Helping You Secure a Restraining Order

At Mark Harris Ruby Attorney At Law, we help our clients secure emergency restraining orders, temporary restraining orders and permanent protective orders. While not a guarantee that your abusive spouse will stay away, it does provide a level of security in that the consequences are severe if he or she violates the order.

Spousal Abuse and Divorce Matters

Many abused spouses come to us in the midst of a divorce that involves a child custody or child support battle. A restraining order not only sends a strong message to your abusive spouse, but it also documents his or her actions and may limit or prevent time spent with the children.

Aggressively Defending You

At our law office, we focus on mediation and conciliation in divorce matters. However, acts of domestic violence and spousal abuse will likely prevent that approach. We are diligent and dedicated to our clients and their rights. First, you need protection from harm. Second, you need an aggressive advocate to stand up for your rights in a divorce proceeding. We can provide all of that and more.
