In addition to assisting our clients with restraining orders, dissolutions, and custody and property decisions, our law firm is one of the few firms that bring civil actions against abusers for the damages they inflict.
This consists of filing a civil lawsuit for damages against the abuser for the personal injuries inflicted upon our clients during the relationship. These types of cases involve both physical and emotional injuries, and the suits are for monetary awards including general damages and, in extreme cases, punitive damages against the abuser. Often the victim can collect the damage awards out of both the abuser’s separate property assets and out of the abuser’s share of the community property from the divorce.
At the Law Office of Debra A. Smith, we believe an abuse victim has a right to collect for their damages from an abusive partner the same as if the injury had come from the hand of a stranger or third party. We strongly advocate for abuse victims, and Debra Smith is particularly suited to argue on behalf of victims at trial. She has obtained individual verdicts of over one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) in personal injury actions. She is experienced in effective presentation of domestic violence evidence, use of expert witnesses at trial, and arguing for large verdicts.
Through these types of civil actions, we can assist our clients in getting their lives back on track both financially and emotionally. They walk away from our office with a sense of accomplishment and new beginnings.
