He spending time together, but everything changed when Mary called Mary and sent her texts. At first the contacts were friendly became pregnant. Tom frequently directed angry outbursts and Tom started to come by the apartment to see Angela. But against Mary for no apparent reason. The abuse escalated, and things turned ugly when Mary and Tom disagreed about medical when Mary was four and a half months along, Tom punched her care for Angela. Over the course of a week, Tom threatened in the face causing her to fall to the floor – all because she was several times to kill Mary and their daughter. The threats came tired from her pregnancy and did not want to go out for the in person, over the phone, and via texts. They were very real; evening. During the assault, Tom flashed a gun and a knife and when Tom threatened Mary in person, he made sure she saw threatened to use them if Mary tried to call the police. He left the gun he carried. Mary decided she needed protection, and her apartment and she heard nothing from him for several she obtained a temporary restraining order in Family Court. years. In the meanwhile, their daughter, Angela, was born. While in court, she saw a Partners for Women and Justice flyer and contacted us for assistance. We assigned one of our staff attorneys to represent her. The attorney and paralegal gathered copies of the harassing text messages, phone records, photographs and police reports that illustrated the frightening history of abuse and harassment. Mary’s case was complicated when Tom requested and obtained a temporary restraining order against her after falsely accusing her of harassment. At trial, Mary’s lawyer built a strong case based upon the evidence. And Mary courageously faced the man who had threatened her with a gun. Her testimony was consistent; she never wavered on the story of abuse and harassing threats. In contrast, under cross- examination Tom admitted that he sent the threatening text messages and even that Mary did not harass him. The judge believed Mary and granted a final restraining order against Tom and dismissed the case against her. Mary left the court filled with hope for a safe future for herself i really appreciate everything you did for me. and Angela. “to think i almost gave up. You gave me HOPE. —MArY 1” 1 All names are changed to protect the privacy of our client and her child.
