We work to ensure that the court’s orders are fair, fact-based, and that your constitutional rights are protected throughout the process.
Primary Practice Areas in Contact Restrictions
Explore our areas of focus below to understand how we can assist in your case.
PPO Violations
Alleged Protection Order Breaches
A Personal Protection Order (PPO) is a civil order, but a violation is a criminal matter that can result in immediate arrest and jail time. We provide a vigorous defense against allegations of PPO breaches, scrutinizing the evidence of contact and challenging the credibility of accusations to prevent a “contempt of court” conviction.
No Contact Orders
Navigating Court Mandates
No contact orders are frequently issued as a condition of bond or sentencing in criminal cases. These orders are often absolute, preventing even third-party communication. We assist clients in understanding the strict parameters of these mandates and represent individuals facing revocation of bond due to alleged contact.
Restraining Orders
Civil Litigation and Boundaries
In the context of divorce or civil litigation, restraining orders can be used to preserve the status quo or protect assets. We help clients navigate the nuances of civil restraining orders, ensuring that these instruments are used appropriately and do not unfairly infringe upon your personal or professional freedom.
Modification of Orders
Adapting to New Realities
As family dynamics shift or criminal cases reach a resolution, existing contact restrictions may no longer be necessary or appropriate. We represent individuals seeking to modify or terminate protection orders, presenting evidence to the court that the original conditions for the order have changed.
Stalking and Harassment
Protecting Your Reputation
Allegations of stalking or harassment often form the basis for long-term contact restrictions. Our firm provides a rigorous defense against these claims, investigating the digital and physical evidence to ensure that misunderstandings or false accusations do not result in a permanent restrictive record.
