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.
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.

Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Cleveland say about our Arabic-speaking domestic violence attorneys.
“My ex tried to paint me as an unfit father because I work night shifts. My lawyer documented that my mother watches the kids while I work and that I spend every morning with them. Judge awarded me 50/50 custody. Don't let anyone tell you Arab fathers can't win custody.”

“My marriage was arranged and lasted two years. No children, but we had bought a house together. His family tried to pressure me into giving up my share. My lawyer stood firm, valued the property properly, and I walked away with $83,000 in equity. In our culture, women don't always fight back. I did.”

“During my divorce, my husband refused to honor the $25,000 mahr in our Islamic marriage contract. My lawyer presented it as a valid contractual obligation and the judge agreed. Got the full amount included in the divorce settlement. She knew exactly how to argue it under Ohio contract law.”
