Honolulu Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
Do you have a restraining order against you?
An accusation of domestic violence can result in a restraining order being placed against you. In such a case, the restrictions specified in the restraining order could deny or significantly limit contact between yourself and the alleged victim. Restraining orders are so serious, in fact, that the violation of one could drastically enhance potential criminal sentencing and penalties in your case.
Domestic violence has many components, but in Hawaii, it is commonly referred to as "abuse of a family and household member." This means that you could be charged with a domestic violence offense if the alleged victim falls under any of the following categories:
- Family or household member
- Your child or stepchild
- Someone who you have a child with
- Someone that you are dating
The degree of the domestic violence charges will depend on:
- The severity of the alleged victim's injuries
- Whether or not a minor was present during the alleged abuse
- Whether or not a restraining order was violated
Types of Domestic Abuse
Not all cases of domestic violence involve assault or physical abuse. While this is a very common factor in cases of this nature, a person could be accused of the offense for other reasons. Additionally, accusations of disorderly conduct, trespassing, and kidnapping can all tie into domestic disputes; due to the nature of their penalties, they cannot be ignored.

"He saved the rest of my life in Hawaii."I hired him after I was released from jail. I was depressed and hopeless about the charges against me. Because I am an international here, and felt a language boundary, it was very difficult to choose an attorney for me and my situation too. Winning the case was my first priority but trusting my attorney was also important. Mr. Bakke and his office staffs listened to me and helped me all the time. He always thought about my life after the case was finished. Finally my case was dismissed permanently. He saved my life. He and his office staffs tried their best for me. I really appreciate everything he did for me.- Rika.S
