Guidance In Restraining Order Violation Charges

In Massachusetts, a restraining order is known as an abuse prevention order, a protective order or a “209A.” When you are accused of violating the terms of a restraining order, you risk penalties of up to two and one-half years in jail and a $5,000 fine. As the principal attorney at the Law Office of Michael J. Reno, P.C., I provide experienced criminal defense to people who have been accused of restraining order violations.

An Experienced Massachusetts Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer

Domestic violence charges often result in restraining orders and protective orders against the alleged abuser. I know that there are two sides to every story and that underlying narratives and histories have an impact on which story is told and believed.

I understand the situations that can arise that lead to a domestic dispute between boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife or domestic partners. These relationships are fraught with emotions. A restraining order brings with it many new challenges and complications.

What Constitutes A Restraining Order Violation

You can be charged and arrested for restraining order violation for the following:

  • Driving by the other party’s home
  • Going near the other party’s vehicle
  • Attempting to contact the other party through letter or by phone
  • Accepting an invitation to the other party’s home
