Family Offense Petitions

When a loved one becomes a threat, the law offers protection. In New York, a Family Offense Petition helps individuals seek protection from abuse, harassment, or violence by a family member or intimate partner. At Kimberley Pelesz New York Law, we guide you through this critical process with compassion and urgency.
