Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer in Bucharest
Have you been accused of domestic violence?These files usually appear in tense contexts: separations, divorces or disputes about children, where each person describes the events differently.A protection order procedure may run in parallel with the criminal file, so both the charge and the restrictions already imposed must be handled.

What I check in your file
This defense is part of my work on violent crime cases, but it follows its own rules.
I look at the chronology of the incident, the statements, the emergency calls, messages, photographs, the forensic certificate, witnesses and any recordings.
Cases involving family members have specific criminal rules, and protection measures are regulated separately.
Is a protection order already in force?
Do not treat the protection order as a simple document in the criminal file.
Tell me exactly what obligations and prohibitions it contains and when it was served. Any restriction on approaching or contacting a person must be respected while it produces effects.
Breaching a protection order is a separate criminal offence.
Domestic violence or a conflict without criminal relevance?
Not every family argument amounts to a criminal offence.
I analyse the specific act and the available evidence, without assuming that filing a complaint proves the accusation.
If the case concerns only physical violence outside the family context, see the page on assault and bodily harm.
Summoned by the police or the prosecutor?
Do not try to solve the situation by contacting the complainant, especially if a no-contact restriction exists.
Send me the summons and tell me:
- when the incident happened;
- who was present;
- whether recordings exist;
- whether a protection order was issued.
Defense before the first statement
If the file is with the police or the prosecutor, see my defense service in the criminal investigation stage.
If a restriction of liberty is discussed, we prepare the defense on preventive measures in parallel.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I received a protection order?
It imposes obligations that apply immediately, such as keeping a distance or not contacting the protected person. It can be challenged or modified under the conditions and deadlines set by law.If my partner withdraws the complaint, is the file closed?
It depends on the charge. For some offences committed against a family member the criminal action continues ex officio even if the complaint is withdrawn.Can I be detained in a family violence file?
Yes. Depending on the seriousness and the circumstances, the prosecutor may request a preventive measure. That defense is prepared separately from the defense on the merits.What if the accusation is false?
Do not contact the complainant and do not delete conversations. We gather the evidence showing the real chronology: messages, witnesses, recordings, documents.
