Fort Lauderdale Orders of Protection Defense Attorney
An order of protection is the same as a restraining order in that it is an order from the court stating to stay away from an alleged victim. This would include the victim’s work, school, home and immediate family. You also can not contact them via telephone, email, fax, postal mail, text messaging or any other method. If you do, you are considered to be in violation of the order of protection and will be arrested for contempt of court. You would then face additional penalties if convicted of domestic violence or any other crime in court.
