1
Safety Assessment & Planning
We assess your immediate safety and develop a plan. This includes identifying safe housing, securing important documents, and protecting your immigration status. Everything is confidential.
2
Emergency Protective Order
We file for an emergency protective order that can be granted the same day without the abuser being present (ex parte). This provides immediate legal protection while longer-term solutions are put in place.

Court Hearing for Permanent Order
Within 2-3 weeks, a hearing is held where you present evidence and the abuser can respond. We prepare you thoroughly and present a compelling case for permanent protection.

Immigration Protection (VAWA/U-Visa)
If your immigration status is connected to the abuser, we file VAWA self-petitions or U-visa applications to secure independent immigration status. The abuser is not notified.

Arabic domestic violence lawyer reviews in Ann Arbor
Read what Arab American families in Ann Arbor say about our Arabic-speaking domestic violence attorneys.
Client review
“My divorce was complicated because we had assets in both the US and Lebanon. My lawyer understood how to handle international property division and got me a fair settlement. She also spoke Arabic which made explaining sensitive family matters so much easier.”
Dalal F.

Client review
“My ex wanted to take our daughter to Yemen. I was terrified. My lawyer got an emergency order within 48 hours blocking travel. Then she fought for full custody and won. I could explain my fears about my daughter's safety in Arabic — that made all the difference in how the case was presented.”
Fatima G.

Client review
“My husband refused to pay the $35,000 mahr from our Islamic marriage contract. Michigan courts don't always recognize these. My lawyer presented it as a valid prenuptial agreement and the judge ordered payment. She knew exactly how to frame it in American legal terms.”
