Have You Been the Victim of Mental Abuse? There Are Legal Options for You

Have You Been the Victim of Mental Abuse? There Are Legal Options for You

Many people don’t realize that they don’t have to be physically harmed to be the victim of abuse. In many cases, a domestic violence abuser doesn’t even lay a hand on their victim. There are a wide range of ways they can exert power and control over their spouse, partner, or close relative. If you’ve been the victim of this type of abuse then you need an attorney in California who has experience with cases of mental abuse. You’ve found just that attorney in Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell.

What exactly is mental abuse?

There are a wide range of things that can be considered mental abuse. If you’re not sure, just ask yourself this: Did the actions of words of someone else make you feel that you had no power or no worth? Did you feel intimidated? Was it humiliating? If you answered yes to any of these questions then it may be a case of mental abuse. Here are a few examples that we’ve seen time and time again.

  • Being constantly criticized.
  • Being afraid due to someone intimidating you.
  • Being stalked or cyberstalked.
  • Being called names or being put down on a regular basis.
  • Threatening you that they’ll reveal personal info you don’t want to get out. This may include sexual orientation, involvement in certain sexual acts, or other highly personal information.
  • Being forced to isolate from your friends and family.
  • Threatening to harm you, your family members, children, pets, or others that are important to.
  • Mind games.
  • Guilt trips.

My ex-wife hired an attorney which prompted me to do so for our divorce. Torrence Howell was highly recommended from a friend of mine who used Torrence’s services for a divorce just like mine. The results came out much better than he ever thought it would. With all things being equal I felt Torrence would
