How does a victim of domestic violence communicate private, possibly embarrassing experiences and events to her lawyer?

Todd P. Emanuel April 21, 2017 Leave a Comment

This is where the attorney-client relationship is absolutely critical. I spend as much time as I can with my clients discussing the domestic violence incident itself, but also all of the dynamics surrounding the incident and her relationship with the perpetrator.   If a person does not feel entirely comfortable speaking with me initially, that’s okay.  It often takes more than one session.

I encourage DV clients to speak with therapists and other trustworthy people. I also provide for them resources to write in a journal or a timeline, or even speak in a digital recorder to convey thoughts and emotions at their leisure when it feels right and comfortable for them. All of my communications with DV clients and prospective clients are confidential.

If you need to speak with an experienced domestic violence attorney in Redwood City or San Francisco, please contact us.
