Violations Of Restraining Orders
If you or someone you know has been charged with violating a restraining order in a domestic violence case, it is critical to understand the alleged actions that led to this charge. These actions vary from case to case, according to the specifics of the temporary restraining order (TRO) or final restraining order (FRO).

We defend clients against accusations of:
- Sending an e-mail or calling, or making any other attempts to contact the person who sought a restraining order
- Showing up at your child’s sporting event or at the house
