DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is a significant, but often hidden problem in Chapel Hill and throughout North Carolina. This can take many forms, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Even mistreatment that seems 'minor' to the perpetrator can leave lasting scars. Unfortunately, many victims are reluctant to seek protection, as they fear retribution or are simply nervous about navigating legal solutions.

With so much at stake, you cannot afford to tackle this problem alone. Our compassionate team at Alexander Law, PLLC will provide the attentive, sensitive service you need during this difficult time. We will listen carefully to your concerns and inform you of your options, which will likely include a Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO). Sometimes referred to as a 50B order, this requires an individual accused of domestic violence to stay away from the victim.

To secure a 50B order, you will need to demonstrate that you have a qualifying relationship with the perpetrator — and that this person has committed acts of domestic violence as described under local laws. This can be surprisingly complicated in some cases, but the team at Alexander Law, PLLC can help you gather and present key evidence.

Escaping an abusive situation can be terrifying, but you don't need to take this crucial step alone. Alexander Law, PLLC is here to help. The sooner you contact us, the sooner you can escape a dangerous situation and make a fresh start.
