Attorney Maryam Atighechi

At Atighechi Law Group, we understand that domestic violence cases are emotionally charged and require immediate legal intervention.

  1. Get In Touch

    The first step is reaching out for a confidential consultation. If you or your child are in immediate danger, we can discuss emergency legal protections, such as restraining orders or emergency custody orders.

  2. Gather Evidence & Build Your Case

    If you decide to move forward, we will begin gathering critical evidence to strengthen your case.

  3. Establish a Plan and Take Action

    Domestic violence cases often require long-term legal solutions beyond immediate protection orders. Once your safety is secured, we will ensure that your restraining orders and custody arrangements are enforced and upheld.
