It is hard to withdraw charges after a restraining order has been issued

Restraining orders related to domestic violence are complex. Even when the complainant withdraws his or her allegations, the police and district attorney’s office usually move forward with charges such as domestic violence or violating a restraining order. In order to get a restraining order removed, it is usually necessary to go to court. Otherwise, the defendant may be charged with a restraining order violation a second time, a charge with a more severe penalty.

Neighbors, spouses, and significant others

The type of scenario outlined above usually involves ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, or feuding spouses. Restraining order problems can also arise between neighbors. Boundary line issues, easement matters, and other problems that occur when people live close together, are often difficult, especially when the restraining order is established with impossible conditions.

An experienced lawyer has a better chance of getting a restraining order removed

Our attorney does all the research necessary to defend against violation charges or support removal efforts. He interviews witnesses, researches the possible reaction of the judge, and builds a compelling case articulating the client’s viewpoint.
