Domestic Violence & Abuse

Protecting You & Your Family Against Domestic Violence

Domestic violence can be an underreported crime or a weapon du jour in the struggle for dominance that punctuates divorce litigation. This includes verbal, emotional, and physical abuse of any kind. No spouse or child should have to endure abuse – whether it is flagrant or subtle in nature. You need an attorney with the experience to protect you and your family when the stakes are high.

Domestic violence can result in criminal charges, orders of protection, and arrest. If one spouse is excluded from the residence, the children’s relationship with that parent might be affected. The financial pressures on the excluded parent can also be enormous. At the end of the day, no system is perfect. The court’s concern is that no spouse or child is subjected to abuse.

Over the last 35+ years, Lois M. Brenner, Esq. and our team have represented numerous clients involved in abusive situations. We know how to handle these cases. Call us today for the help you need!

How Domestic Violence Can Factor Into Your Divorce

If you are currently involved in an abusive relationship, it is important that you speak to an experienced divorce lawyer as soon as possible. Your personal safety could be at risk, as well as the safety of your children. When you come to Lois M. Brenner, Esq. for help, we will bring this to the attention of the divorce court so they can take these facts into consideration when making decisions regarding child custody and visitation in your divorce.

If, on the other hand, you have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence, you should also seek the help of a New York divorce attorney. Allegations of domestic abuse are serious, and they will be handled as such by the court. These allegations could result in an unfavorable custody decision, or a limited visitation schedule. For this reason, timely action will be crucial. Call us at Lois M. Brenner, Esq. today for more information.

    “Brenner Divorce Method really works!!”
    I had read about Lois’ unusual divorce method in one of her blog posts. It was refreshing to see someone was working with the psychological issues in divorce. My husband is bipolar and getting him to agree to a divorce and commit to the process was tough. When we met with Lois she really understood him. She immediately identified his mental health issues, and because she has a psych background, she was empathetic to his needs and was skillful at guiding him through her divorce mediation process. It took a while but she really got us to a point where we could actually discuss things without my husband blowing up. Her method is unique and it really helped in our situation. She actually recommended a great psychiatrist who changed my husband’s meds at her urging (she has a medical degree too), and my husband is coping much better. We can’t thank her enough for her compassion and advice! If you need a divorce attorney, especially if mental illness is a part of the fabric of your marriage, go see Lois! Thanks Lois 

    “Best Mediator Ever :)”
    We were looking for a mediator to help us with visitation issues we were having due to the pandemic. With all the problems we were having getting the kids back and forth, and arguing about taking trains and buses during visitations, we called Lois Brenner to help us make some decisions. She really set us straight. She spent a lot of time with us so we could get a parenting agreement together to set some rules we could both agree to. I feel a lot better now. Thank you Ms. Brenner.

    “An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish!”
    Lois was an absolute pleasure to work with. She worked on a prenuptial agreement for me. Our very first conversation put me at ease. She was interested in my upcoming marriage and wedding. She assured me the prenuptial agreement could be drafted quickly. She made intelligent recommendations to address some of my complex financial decisions. She also made sound suggestions to protect my multi-million dollar portfolio. Our wedding is coming up and will be a lot smaller than we originally thought due to COVID-19, but Lois Brenner got our prenuptial agreement done in time, and made it a lot more pleasurable experience than I thought it would be. I would recommend Lois to anyone seeking a truly skilled attorney to draft their prenuptial agreement.
