Men and Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is commonly considered a crime committed by men. But police officers in Cheshire, UK are seeing an increase in domestic violence committed against men. In fact, the Cheshire Police reported there were 1,020 incidences of domestic violence involving men in 2009, which accounts for a 9% increase since 2008 and a 36% increase since 2007.

While these statistics are based on UK findings, you can be sure domestic violence against men is being committed in the United States as well. At the Law Office of Teresa Beyers, we are committed to helping all victims of domestic violence seek the protection they deserve. We understand it’s often difficult for domestic violence victims to step forward and ask for help. They might feel ashamed, embarrassed, or fear their abuser will retaliate against them if they say anything. And while it’s difficult for many women to ask for help, it’s often even more difficult for men to ask for help.

If you are a man who is being abused or mistreated by your wife, girlfriend, or any other member of your household, we urge you to come to our office for help. Many men don’t ask for help out of fear of looking less manly or like that don’t have a handle on their situation at home. Whatever your reason for not stepping forward, we urge to put aside your reservations and contact our office. A Los Angeles domestic violence lawyer at our office can help you file for a restraining order and take legal action to ensure the abuse ends once and for all.
