I am looking for a honest lawyer to help me with a case against a man who beat me up and attacked me. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like someone that speaks english if possible. The case would be in Higuey. What are the penalties for this type of crime if found guilty? Does the Dominican have minimum and maximum penalties? Also does the Dominican Repulic have a court advocate or someone who helps women get through this process? Thank you any information will help me on my way? Redhot

Art. 309 of the Dominican Penal Code was amended in 1997 to protect women from domestic violence. Penalties were increased to 1 to 5 years? imprisonment (5 to 10 years with aggravating circumstances).

I?ll try to get you in contact with a group who assists battered women. Please e-mail me with details.
