Restraining Order Violation Defense Lawyer in Englewood

Defending Your Rights in Bergen County When You've Been Accused

If you have been accused of committing an act of domestic violence, your spouse, family or significant other may take out a restraining order against you. This will restrict your movements and interaction with this person or your family.

If you violate that order by making contact, stalking or committing another act of domestic violence, you will be subject to the penalties for violating the restraining order as well as those for the accompanying crime. These penalties can mean up to 18 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines in addition to the penalties for the act you committed that caused the violation.
