If an order of protection is issued against an abusive person, they may no longer:

• Call the person or persons covered in the OFP (Order of Protection)
• Come within a certain distance of the victim
• Buy a firearm
• Live at the same residence as the victim

It is a serious violation for someone who is named in an order for protection to violate the injunction.  Orders of protection are normally effective against domestic violence but when even they are not enough to stop the abusive person from committing further violence, there are other options available to you that can be reviewed with your attorney.  Our lawyers are standing by to answer any questions you may have regarding orders for protection and restraining orders.  We urge you to call us today.
