Bronx Restraining Order Attorney Fights for Victims of Abuse
If you feel that you are being harmed, threatened or abused in any matter,
it is important that you take immediate action and contact an attorney.
Victims have rights, and when you work with my firm, I will work diligently
to protect them.
When you retain my firm, I can help you obtain what is known as an order
of protection. These are court-issued documents that address and greatly
limit the behavior of an individual you feel threatened by or who has
harmed you. This court document is often obtained by
domestic violence victims and ensures that they are fully protected under the law.
What Does an Order of Protection Do?
Orders of protection greatly limit a person's ability to contact the
individuals named in the protection document, and in some cases, individuals
may even be forced to move or avoid being in the same area as the alleged victims.
Most of the time, orders of protection prohibit the abuser from threatening,
harassing, injuring or contacting the person in any manner, and he or
she must fully abide by
custody orders and keep up with
child support payments.
The state of New York already has strict gun laws and regulations, and
any individual named in an order of protection is not allowed to purchase
or possess a firearm. A violation of any of these conditions could result
in a criminal charge.
Were you wrongfully served an order of protection?
The intentions of these orders are to ensure that victims are protected
from their abusers; however, there are some cases in which individuals
are wrongfully accused and served orders of protection that do not apply to them.
In some
family law cases, jealous or angry spouses or significant others can request an order of
protection against a person based on a false accusation. Circumstances
like these can greatly alter your life and limit your ability to see your
children, live in your own home, and contact your spouse. If you have
been wrongfully served an order of protection, you need to contact my
firm right away.
