Introduction: It’s so nice to meet you! I’m Dr. Alicia J. Journey, Esq. I specialize in Intimate Partner Abuse. My concentration is Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, both obtaining and defending, Divorce, Custody, Visitation, Financial Reallocation, Child Support and Alimony.
Due to the complexities surrounding domestic violence or intimate partner abuse, I am personally dedicated to walking each client through the process in the most gently and efficient way possible. I know firsthand how overwhelming the process can be and I am committed to taking as much pressure off of the victim so they can concentrate on what is truly important, which is healing. Most victims stay in abusive situations due to feeling stuck, frozen, or hopeless. I simplify the process and personally support each client as they navigate this necessary but potentially overwhelming journey.
Another reason victims stay is because there are financial concerns and/or children are involved. These are not hurdles that cannot be overcome. It’s my mission to provide stability for every victim through protecting their legal rights and making sure they get what is legal theirs.
When children are involved it can seem like you'll never get away from your abuser. But the law protects the victim and their children. That is what I fight to do; help you get the legal protection and financial stability you need.
