Domestic Violence Lawyers Serving the St. Paul/Minneapolis Metro

Attorneys Dedicated to Protecting Your Welfare and Your Rights

Violence between spouses or domestic partners cannot be tolerated under any circumstance. If you or your children are the victims of abuse by another person in your household, you need a protective order, restraining order or harassment order. If you are a victim of domestic violence, first seek a place of safety and find medical care if necessary. Your next step should be to speak with an experienced, compassionate family law attorney.

The Bloomington law firm of Jensen, Mullen, McSweeney & Meyer, PLLP, represents people across Minnesota who are the targets of abuse. If the person who is victimizing you is a relative or someone who has entered into a significant relationship with you, we will help you seek appropriate relief.

In many cases, our first step will be to seek a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO). A TRO will prohibit contact from your abuser until a further hearing. At that point, the court will decide whether it is necessary to make the restraining order permanent. Our law firm will help you obtain the legal protections you need.

Offering a Strong Defense Against False Charges of Abuse

In addition to our work on behalf of the abused, we also represent spouses and parents who face false accusations of abuse. In many cases, one spouse may make false or exaggerated allegations in an attempt to gain the upper hand in a custody dispute. If a restraining order is entered against you, it can have profound consequences in your life. Our law firm will present a powerful defense to accusations of abuse.
