Brooklyn NY Order of Protection Attorney

After an order of protection is issued, it is essential that the terms of the order be followed until the time comes to contest the order. If the order of protection, or restraining order, is not followed, an individual may be arrested for violating the order. This charge is called criminal contempt and may carry harsh penalties if convicted.

If you are accused of or arrested for violating an order of protection, do not take your situation lightly.

False Accusations

In some cases, an alleged victim has made false statements in order to gain an advantage in a situation. This can occur when someone is trying to gain advantage in a family law case, such as a custody dispute. Also, false accusations are often made in retaliation against the alleged abuser to get back at him or her for something, such as a break-up. False accusations are extremely serious, since orders of protection that are granted on false grounds may have a devastating impact on an individual. Our firm strives to investigate the case thoroughly to ensure that statements are not being falsely and intentionally made.
