Protecting the Rights of Spouses, Parents and Children
Some legal matters drag on and on through litigation, taking months or years for decisions or settlements to be reached. Other matters — such as those involving domestic violence or child protection concerns — can be opened and closed within a matter of weeks.
When you are facing court proceedings concerning your domestic violence or child protection matter, it is important to find a lawyer who can act quickly to protect your rights. At the Law Offices of Jonathan D. Gordon, Esq., LLC, that is exactly what we do. From our office in Teaneck, we represent clients throughout New Jersey who are involved in domestic violence or Division of Youth and Family Services matters.
Domestic Violence
Few matters are more emotionally charged than those concerning the well-being of your family. Whether you are the victim of domestic violence or the alleged abuser, you need an attorney who can handle the matter in a sensitive, timely and effective manner.
Domestic violence proceedings move very quickly. Within 10 days of the filing of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), there will be a final hearing on the domestic violence complaint. Each party needs an attorney to prepare them for the hearing, one who can find witnesses and gather evidence over a short period of time. We can provide the experienced and expedient assistance you need.
Division of Youth and Family Services
The Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) is New Jersey's child protection agency. DYFS typically gets involved when allegations of abuse and neglect are made against a parent. Many times, a parent will be suffering from a substance abuse or mental health problem. If you are a parent under investigation by DYFS, you need an attorney who can assist you with:
- Removal of your child from your home
- Compliance with court orders
- Supervised visitation
- Reunification with your child
- Termination of parental rights proceedings
Attorney Jonathan Gordon is a former NJ Deputy Attorney General who once represented DYFS as their attorney in family court. He has a good understanding of how they handle their cases and can use this information to benefit his clients.
