We've been successful in numerous cases in having protective orders or restraining orders dismissed.  In some cases we've found restraining orders have been requested simply in order to gain control of property or custody of children in bitter relationship breakups.  This can occur in cases in which there has been no instance of domestic assault or abuse which.  this is an abuse of the purpose of this legal instrument and should be addressed immediately.  

It is vital that all the facts be presented to the court without delay.  A Protective Order, once granted, places severe limitations on you with regard to your access to your children, visitation, and access to your property.  Whether the order is based on a false allegation of domestic abuse, domestic violence, or child abuse this is a serious situation.

However unfair this may seem to you, it is vital to have your criminal defense lawyer represent you in this matter.  Once an order is in place even an accidental meeting with your ex-spouse or partner may be construed to be a violation and you can be arrested and put in jail at once.  An accusation of stalking or violation of a protective order no matter how unfounded will have to be defended against or more serious consequences will ensue.  Contact us immediately for a consultation with a defense lawyer from the firm who will pursue the legal actions necessary in getting to seek to get such an order dismissed or cancelled.
