Q: Why do I need a lawyer in a domestic abuse case?
Answer: Over the years in Minnesota cases we have found litigants in cases with domestic violence need legal counsel in the following circumstances:
-
Legal papers have been served on you
-
An agency has taken (or has threatened to take) your children
-
Confronting an abuser in the courtroom or otherwise is unsafe or intimidating
-
The other side has a lawyer
-
You may face eviction or lose your job because of the actions of the abuser
-
You and the abuser live in separate states or one of you is on a reservation or in the military
-
Your case involves property, financial issues, or child custody
-
The legal issues involved are confusing
-
The legal matter is only one of the difficult issues you have to deal with at this point in time and you need somebody to take it over.
-
Losing would drastically change your life.
