Restraining Order Attorneys

Our lawyers provide counseling and representation to individuals charged with violating restraining orders, to individuals fighting against the issuance of restraining orders, and victims of abuse who are seeking restraining orders.

For Individuals Charged With Violating Restraining Orders: If you have been charged with violating a restraining order in Massachusetts, it is imperative that you retain an attorney to advocate on your behalf. Under Massachusetts law, if a court finds that someone has violated a restraining order, that person could face financial penalties of up to $5,000 and incarceration for up to 2 ½ years. Our lawyers are fully prepared to provide you with the counseling and representation which you need. Call us today to schedule a free consultation with a criminal defense lawyer.

For Individuals Contesting Restraining Orders: As discussed in the paragraph above, violating a restraining order may lead to severe financial penalties and imprisonment. Because of the severe consequences involved with violating a restraining order, you should consider hiring a lawyer to represent you in contesting the issuance of the restraining order. If you have been falsely accused of abuse or harassment, our lawyers can help you understand what your rights are and prevent the order from issuing.

For Individuals Seeking Restraining Orders: You do not need an attorney to represent you in order to obtain a restraining order. If you call your local district court, they will put you in contact with a social worker who is available to assist and advise you on the process of obtaining a restraining order. However, if you do not want to go through this process alone, our criminal defense lawyers would be happy to represent you.

If you have been accused of violating a restraining order, have been served with a restraining order, or would like advice on obtaining a restraining order, contact our office immediately at (978) 263-7119, or through the internet. We serve clients throughout Massachusetts, and offer a free initial consultation to all of our future clients.
