If You are a Victim of Domestic Violence in Northern Virginia, You are Not Alone
Domestic violence (sometimes called “family abuse”) affects many families in the United States.
The reality of domestic violence is that it is not a problem that often fixes itself. It may escalate. And as the violence escalates, so does a victim’s isolation and vulnerability. Individuals exposed to domestic violence need help to be safe, to keep their children safe, and to break the cycle of domestic violence in Northern Virginia. The family lawyers at Wexell Milman represent those individuals, whether in protective order hearings or by pursuing a fault-based divorce, in order to ensure personal and financial security.
What to do if You Have Been Accused of Domestic Violence in Northern Virginia

We help clients in Northern Virginia deal with the various family law, criminal law, and collateral consequences associated with domestic violence, including:

- The potential loss of child custody and visitation rights
