Orders of Protection
ORDERS OF PROTECTION: ESTABLISHING OR DEFENDING AGAINST
The primary goal of Orders of Protection is to protect the victim from the offender, which usually is someone who is in a domestic situation, such as a husband/wife, but marriage is not required,
An Order of Protection is a powerful tool that law enforcement can enforce and could lead to the incarceration of an individual who violates it. We often see orders of protection in cases where the defendant has also caught domestic violence criminal charges. An order of protection usually imposes the following restrictions on someone:
1) Forfeit their firearms,
2) Stay away from the Victim,
3) No contact with the Victim,
4) Stay away from the home, or
5) Other orders.
If you need an Order of Protection or need to defend against one, it's important to have a serious lawyer on your side.
