There’s no question that restraining orders are important for those who’ve been the victim of certain crimes. That said, these orders can often be unnecessarily restricting against those they’re ordered against. For example, a restraining order against a parent could result in their inability to see their child. A restraining order can even affect a person’s immigration status.
Once the restraining order has been issued, any violation of said restraining order can come with stiff penalties, up to and including fines of up to $1,000 and as long as a year in jail. The good news is that Law Office of Michael L. Fell is here to help you. Call us today to get a free legal consultation and to find out how you can fight your restraining order violation charge.
