Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • What Happens If I Violate A Restraining Order?

    Answer

    If a protective order has been filed against you as a result of a domestic violence accusation, you must remain a certain distance from the accuser. If you violate the restraining order, you will be arrested and taken into police custody. If you would like changes to be made to your restraining order, you must speak with the judge who originally issued the protective order.

  • Are There Alternatives to Serving Time in Prison or Jail?

    Answer

    While alternatives to incarceration are available, retaining legal assistance as early on as possible will decrease your chances of being sentenced with prison or jail time in the first place.

  • Can I Be Charged If No Physical Contact Was Made?
