Orange County Restraining Order Lawyer
Santa Ana Protective Order Lawyers
If you have been convicted of a domestic violence charge, it is likely there will be some kind of restraining order against you. This order will prevent you from contacting the person you allegedly abused, whether it was your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, parent of your child or another person. A restraining order can also prevent you from seeing your children. Obviously, a restraining order is serious business. If someone has a restraining order against you, it is important to follow the terms of the order.
Of course, while a restraining order may once have been necessary in your life, that does not mean it will always be necessary. If you are under a restraining order and want to reconcile with your family, you may be able to modify or terminate a restraining order. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you achieve this goal. The Law Offices of David P. Schwarz helps people modify restraining orders and reunite with their families. With offices in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, we represent clients across Southern California.
When Can You Modify a Restraining Order?
Before you can modify a restraining order, you must have paid all fines associated with your conviction and completed anger management classes. The other person may be required to attend Personal Empowerment (PEP) classes before a judge will agree to modify the order to a "no-violent contact order." It is still a bad idea to contact your loved one before an order is modified. If you violate the terms of your restraining order, you face substantial penalties. Let our law firm handle this situation and help you return to your home.
