Restraining Orders in Massachusetts
The attorneys at Percy Law Group, PC, have extensive experience representing men and women confronted with a potentially life altering issue: restraining orders. While many restraining orders are issued along gender lines, with a woman seeking a restraining order against a man, the scenario can play out in any number of ways.
Generally the two parties are related by blood or marriage, but not necessarily. The parties may or may not live together. Sometimes the gender roles are reversed or are represented by two members of the same sex. Generally restraining orders are issued in response to domestic violence, sexual assault, spousal abuse, harassment, and threats.
We deal with all these matters on a daily basis. That is why it's important for you to have the team at Percy Law Group, PC on your side. Contact us today to arrange an initial consultation regarding your particular restraining order needs. We fight for you, and we won't stop fighting for you until we get the justice you deserve. That is our promise. We offer compassion and support while aggressively pursuing justice for you.
What Should You Do If a Restraining Order Has Been Issued?
If a restraining order or order for protection has been issued against you under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 209A, it is important to understand your rights and responsibilities. If you violate the order you may be held in contempt of court, arrested, and held without bail. A violation may also lead to a loss of your firearms. Our restraining order attorneys will alleviate worry and help give you the direction you need to make decisions. The issues involved in a restraining order become more difficult when children are involved, there are family violence concerns, or a divorce is pending. Custody issues can complicate matters for all parties involved. Our attorneys will fight for your rights as we work to establish visitation arrangements that work for you.
