West Palm Beach Restraining Order Defense Attorneys

Criminal Defense Lawyers in Florida

A restraining order is typically issued against a person who is considered a risk to an alleged victim of violence. It is a type of order of protection or stay away order granted by either the district attorney’s office, law enforcement or the courts. A restraining order is often associated with assault, domestic violence, violent crimes and sex crimes cases. When a restraining order is issued it will state several terms that a person must follow to avoid arrest. The terms will consist of staying far away from the alleged victim, their residence, work, school and family, along with any other location the alleged victim may frequent. This means that if you go grocery shopping and see the alleged victim, you must leave immediately or law enforcement may be contacted and you can be arrested.

In addition to a restraining order being a type of stay away order, you must also not try to contact the alleged victim by telephone, fax, email, text, mail, third party or any other type of communication. A violation of a restraining order can often spell out trouble if you have an ongoing criminal case as it may seriously hinder the outcome. A judge and/or jury will most likely not think highly of an individual whom has a severe disrespect for the law by violating a restraining order. This lack of respect, not only to the alleged victim but the criminal court system may be the cause for additional higher penalties to be enforced if convicted.
