When to instruct a lawyer for ill-treatment
Violence against women and against men: when the offence of ill-treatment arises
The firm assists women and men who are victims of abuse, recognising that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of gender. Every case is handled with seriousness, respect and the utmost discretion.
The offence of ill-treatment of family members or cohabitants is set out in Article 572 of the Italian Criminal Code and arises where a person subjects a family member or cohabitant to habitual physical or mental suffering.
If you are a victim of:
- repeated threats; insults, humiliation or constant psychological control;
- physical assaults or episodes of domestic violence;
- forced isolation from family or friends;
- persistent harassment within the family;
you can file a criminal complaint and request the intervention of the judicial authorities. It is essential to act promptly with the support of a criminal defence lawyer experienced in family violence.
