Re: injunction
To answer your question directly, You do not need an attorney at this stage. However, in order to sustain your action it is necessary to prove that you have been harmed or have a genuine fear..not
simply anxiety because he yells. Bring any witness who has first hand knowwledge of any physical abuse or threats. Also photos of bruises, destroyed property, etc, would be helpful. Affidavits and letters from others will not be considered.
