A: You need to sit down with a "certified civil trial lawyer by the NJ Supreme Court" to discuss your legal rights. This is obviously not a family law question but a matter involving the potential for a civil lawsuit for damages. If you run a search for a lawyer, type in the information above so that you know that you are getting a lawyer who has specific trial / courtroom experience and then look for lawyers who have specific skills dealing with this type of abuse.
