PFA (Protection from Abuse) in Pennsylvania   

Are you facing criminal charges or arrest or been served with a Protection from abuse (PFA) order in PA?  Then speak to a Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyer to defend your rights when facing a domestic violence charges, restraining order or Protection from abuse. 

A domestic abuse victim may file a protection from abuse (PFA) order to compel the alleged abuser to leave the home and refrain from further contact for up to 18 months. Even if the house is owned or rented in the name of the alleged abuser, the PFA allows the alleged victim to remain in the home. Learn how to file a PFA against your partner who harmed you or threatened harm — or how to fight a PFA that is under false pretenses.  A Protection from Abuse order can affect the possession of a jointly occupied residence as well as the custody and support of minor children.  Ciccarelli Law Offices recommends that both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator have legal representation at any PFA proceeding. 

We represent spouses and domestic partners accused of assault, abuse, hitting or harming their significant offers.  Our Pennsylvania practice provides legal advice and assistance to individuals who have been victimized by the mental, verbal and physical abuse of their significant other, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend or same-sex partner.
