Stamford Domestic Violence Lawyer

Attorney Dan P. Weiner has handled numerous of domestic abuse cases in over 40 years of practice as a criminal defense attorney. He has handled every level of domestic violence charges:

• Third degree assault
• Threatening
• Breach of peace or disorderly conduct
• Stalking or harassment
• Felony assault (serious injury or weapon)
• Violation of a protective order

If this is a first offense, Mr. Weiner can often resolve the matter by use of a pretrial diversionary program. Instead of jail time and a criminal record, the charges are dismissed after completing anger management classes or other conditions imposed by the court.

If you have prior convictions or face felony charges, we will present all possible defenses and mitigating circumstances (self-defense, intoxication) to prevent this episode from putting you behind bars and ruining your life.

Protecting You From Protective Orders

Attorney Weiner also works to dissolve or modify protective orders and no-contact orders to allow you to reconcile with the victim or spend time with your children. We know that judges err on the side of victims, and that victims sometimes exaggerate domestic abuse or obtain protective orders for leverage in divorce and child custody disputes.
