What experience does R&H have representing victims of domestic violence, specifically emotional and psychological abuse?

Thank you for reaching out with such an important question. To be honest, this is some of the most meaningful work we do, but we also know how incredibly heavy it is for the person asking. Our team is deeply experienced in helping domestic violence survivors navigate the 'invisible' side of abuse, too—like emotional manipulation, psychological gaslighting, and financial control. We know that when you're in this situation, the legal system can feel like another thing to be afraid of. Our goal is to make the law work for you as a shield. Here are some examples of relevant cases our attorneys have handled over the years:

Understanding Gaslighting in Family Law Cases

Helped Client Leave Abusive Spouse

Vindicated of False Accusations Fueled by Divorce Retaliation

Our team can help you or a loved one:

• Get safe, fast: Our first priority is often helping clients secure protection orders. We’ll walk you through the process of getting a judge to step in so you and your kids can breathe a little easier.

• Create an exit strategy: Leaving a dangerous marriage isn't as simple as just moving out. We help handle the 'what now?'—from making sure you have access to bank accounts to securing emergency custody orders so your children stay with you.

• Stand up to 'litigation abuse': Sometimes, an abuser will use the courtroom as a way to keep hurting you through endless motions or false accusations. We’ve seen these tactics before, and we know how to shut them down and keep the focus on the facts.

• Protect your rights: Whether you are the one fleeing a bad situation or you’re a parent fighting back against serious, retaliatory allegations to stay in your child’s life, we’ve handled the full spectrum.

We're here to do the heavy lifting so you or your loved one can focus on healing. Every situation is different, so I recommend scheduling a confidential consultation to discuss your options and next steps. You can schedule quickly online or call 303-688-0944.
