Compassionate Staten Island Domestic Violence Lawyer
Providing Legal Help for the Abused in New York
Telling your spouse that you want a divorce can often bring about a significant amount of tension and even animosity. In some cases, you may already be divorcing your spouse because they are abusive towards you and you want to seek safety away from them. Domestic violence is typically thought to involve physical abuse against a spouse, but it can also involve other types of abuse, intimidation, and threats.
(Remember: If you fear you are in immediate danger from an abusive spouse or family member, please call 911 as soon as it is safe to do so. Never do anything that jeopardizes your health or that of your loved ones.)
If you are a victim of domestic violence and would like the assistance of a Staten Island divorce attorney, my team at The Law Office of Keith M. Casella, P.C. can help. Call me at (718) 557-9137.
What Is Considered Domestic Violence?
Violence or abuse in close relationships is used for the purpose of submission, intimidation, or control. My firm takes this type of behavior very seriously, whether or not physical violence is involved. It is important to know that you are not alone and that we can provide you with emotional and legal support during this difficult time. Even if the person abusing you is your spouse or your partner, this does not mean that you do not have legal options.
A few examples of domestic violence include:
- Physical harm or violence

- Child abuse or neglect
- Stalking or intimidation
- Harassment
