Protection from Abuse Act claims in Pennsylvania - Pittsburgh Lawyer for PFA, Beaver County Attorney for PFA

Pennsylvania PFA - Protection
From Abuse Act

Stay strong. If you are defending against a
PFA petition, this is not the time to agree to
a permanent Protection From Abuse Act
Order without a fight. Why? Too much is
riding on this. A permanent PFA goes on your
record like a criminal conviction for the world
to see.

Get Prepared.

You get a hearing before your temporary
order becomes permanent. This is a critical
time. Your lawyer will tell you how to prepare
for the hearing. Keep in mind that everything
you say can be used against you, not only
for the PFA proceedings, but in other future
disputes over custody, support, and other
matters that you might not envision.

Try to Win This.

Your lawyer can find points to use for cross
examination of every witness who plans to
testify against you. The opposing party and
her attorney will know right away that you
are prepared. This will set the stage for
possible victory in court or an agreement for
the outright dismissal of the PFA.

Our Experience.

We have considerable experience getting
PFAs disimssed short of a hearing. We take
every PFA (protection from abuse) case
seriously because we know the
consequences for you. Part of our practice
involves getting criminal records expunged
and we see first hand the problems people
face once a permanent PFA goes on their
record. For this reason, we fight hard.

Facing Complexities.

Rarely is a PFA about one instance of
"abuse." The PFA is usually part of a broader
issue: a break up, or a couple who dates
each other for too long, or may there's a
child custody dispute, a divorce, one party
trying to get the other party out of the
house, etc, etc. Our firm also handles family
law so we can skillfully advise you about all
matters in your case, not just the PFA.
