Domestic Violence

Easton, Pennsylvania Domestic Violence Attorneys Serving the Lehigh Valley

Domestic violence is a complicated and emotional issue, and this shows in how the law handles it. Spousal and family violence are unfortunately very real and damage thousands of lives. On the other hand, estranged spouses have been known to make false accusations to gain an upper hand in divorce and child custody proceedings.

At Thomas & Thomas, we believe that no one takes domestic violence more seriously than we do. We are deeply committed to protecting victims of domestic violence. We are equally committed to ensuring that no one gets away with using false allegations of a despicable crime as a weapon.

The trial lawyers of Thomas & Thomas have been working in the area of domestic violence law since 1987. We have extensive experience in both family law and criminal law, and we consider it our duty to provide real, practical solutions for people at risk.

Protecting the rights of the accused

Attorney Bruce A. Thomas is a former prosecutor who has tried over 50 cases before juries. He understands that allegations of domestic abuse are often based on limited facts. He will examine the evidence in your case and give you an honest, straightforward assessment of your options.

We defend people in Protection From Abuse (PFA) hearings and those facing criminal charges, such as:

• Spousal abuse
• Assault and battery
• Child abuse
• Child abduction

We will fight to have the charges reduced or dismissed, or for your case to be resolved through Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. As an alterative to trial, this is a 12-month program available to first-time offenders of domestic violence if no serious injuries resulted from the incident. After completing the program, you will have no conviction on your record.
