Victim of Spousal Abuse or Domestic Violence?

Since 1982, Doug Warlick has represented battered women, including pro bono work through the Chicago Bar Association. He assisted victims of physical and mental abuse at the hands of husbands or boyfriends at a time when court orders were not merely carbonless forms. The Law Offices of Douglas B. Warlick & Associates ensures that the judge hears all relevant evidence in deciding whether to grant a domestic violence order. Contact Mr. Warlick if you have been assaulted or threatened by a spouse, ex-spouse or other partner. He will counsel you and accompany you to all hearings until the order is in place and served on the abusive party.

Unfairly Accused of Domestic Violence?

Unfortunately, some people will resort to fabricating stories of abuse in order to gain an advantage in custody disputes or divorce settlements, and the court errs on the side of safety under our climate of political correctness. An order of protection is a serious matter with extraordinary ramifications. If a protective order is granted, you may spend time in jail, be removed from your home, and even denied access to your children. You may also be restricted from possessing firearms. Additionally, you may be charged with a separate misdemeanor criminal offense for violations of the order of protection. Contact The Law Offices of Douglas B. Warlick & Associates if you believe you have been unfairly targeted for a protective order. Mr. Warlick will vigorously protect your rights in court and fight the restraining order with all his legal resources.

Doug Warlick has earned a solid reputation for honesty and integrity in the Kane County and DuPage County family court systems. You will not find a more dedicated or qualified advocate to ensure your safety or defend your rights. Contact a Geneva domestic violence lawyer you can trust.
