My daughter was beaten by his boy friend. I want to file a charges against him.wHAT TYPE OF LAWYER i SHOULS GO FOR ?

your daughter has two paths she can follow: 1. she can bring an action in 'family court' for a 'domestic violence assault and obtain a 'temporary restraining order' [TRO]. this would require a hearing in 10 days for the 'final restraining order'. [FRO].  1. your daughter can also file a criminal charge for 'assault'. we represent people in both of these courts. the key is your daughter wanting to proceed. she is the 'victim' and the witness. please call. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235
