Restraining Orders

A restraining order prevents someone from coming within a certain proximity of the person who filed the order.   Restraining orders can also prevent someone from making contact with the person who filed the order, which includes all forms of communication, including contact made in person, over the phone, through text messages, through email, etc.   

If a restraining order has been issued against you, an experienced Boston criminal defense attorney like Thomas A. Brant can help you address your situation.  A restraining order can quickly turn your life into a nightmare.  For one thing, a restraining order may prevent you from seeing your children, family, and loved ones.  Furthermore, having a restraining order issued in your name comes with a certain social stigma, something your employer, friends, neighbors, and family members may hold against you.  In addition, with a restraining order in your name, you could face arrest and jail time at the first sign that you’ve violated the order, even if it was unintentional.
