Domestic Violence

Ocean City Domestic Violence Lawyers

We Also Fight for Clients in Annapolis & Across Maryland

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pervasive issue that affects numerous individuals in Maryland and nationwide. It involves violent or abusive behavior exhibited in a domestic setting, typically directed at a spouse or partner. 

Various offenses fall under the term “domestic violence,” depending on the form of abuse that occurs. Maryland courts take these very seriously to protect alleged victims and their families. 

Penalties for a conviction can have a significant impact on your life. Unfortunately, charges can be based on very little actual evidence. In some cases, exaggerated or false accusations can lead to charges arising from an accuser’s spite, revenge, or need to control divorce or custody cases.

    Mr. Price represented me in a Domestic Violence case. After a little over a year, the case against me was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Price and his office were incredible in communicating and seeing my needs. With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible.

    Warren works really hard for his clients and cares deeply about them. For Warren, it is not just a job, but a calling. He is a man of great character and is also a brilliant lawyer, with a top-notch education. If someone needs a criminal defense lawyer or UCMJ counsel in Colorado, I cannot think of anyone I would highly recommend.

  • "They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence."

    Mr. Murphy and Mr. Price were the first attorneys I ever worked with. They took time to explain each aspect of my case and made themselves available whenever I needed them. They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence. I would highly recommend their firm. Not only are they great attorneys, but I would also consider them my friends.

  • "He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case."

    I hired Mr. Murphy in the last second of administrative discharge. He gathered the evidence in a very short period of time because he knows a lot of people except, relationships with other lawyers. He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case. I believe he is a great attorney and he deserves more than 5 stars.

  • "This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught."

    If I had not hired Mr. Price for my case I am certain that I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. The way he understood my concerns and fought to get my voice heard by the prosecution was more than I could have ever asked for. This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught in an institution. His character is not something you can buy with just any attorney. Thank you so much for accomplishing the impossible. Thank you for your heart and determination. Thank you for fighting for me and most importantly thank you for granting me peace. You’ll never know what a blessing this has been for me and my family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
