Family Violence

Click Here to give us more information

If someone has accused you of family violence, then you are faced with serious legal challenges and possible jail time. You need legal representation.

If you are or have been the victim of family violence, you should seek the advice of a family law attorney. You need help and protection.

Call Shannon Family Law for your Initial 30 minute consultation. Call 512-733-8259 to get scheduled. Shannon Family Law can help you answer all of your questions. We want to learn about your situation and help you plan your next steps. Before you hire anyone, call us to feel how you like working with our team. We place high value on frequent communication so you know how your case is being handled.

We offer several levels of service to fit your budget, including unbundled or limited scope representation. Our intention is to help you with compassion. We want to find the lowest conflict pathway to resolution suitable for your case. Why? It reduces costs and helps preserve dignity and respect.

A claim of family violence can be both a civil and a criminal matter. On the civil side, the alleged victim of violence may apply for a civil Protective Order. In some situations, if police are called, a person may be arrested. If that happens, a Magistrate may issue an Emergency 30 day Protective Order. You could be excluded from your home. On final hearing, a Protective Order might be issued for 2 or more years. You could be ordered to stay away from the other person and their home and work place. You would be prohibited from having any firearms.

A charge of assault-family violence might also be filed. This charge could be a felony and you would be facing jail time. You would need to hire a criminal defense attorney or ask the court to appoint a public defender to represent you if you lack the money to hire a private attorney.
