When an adult or child is imminently in danger of being a victim of violence, courts will enter a restraining order, or protection order, protecting that person. Such orders usually prohibit the defendant from making any contact with the protected person or from even coming within a specified distance of the protected person. Anyone breaking the terms of a protection order faces criminal arrest and prosecution.   

Our lawyers are well seasoned at getting their clients the protection from violence they need.  As Massachusetts public policy affords zero tolerance for abusive spouses and parents, our courts have made access to protection orders simple for those in need.  

Unfortunately, the ease with which a protection order may be entered can sometimes be abused itself. If you have been wrongly accused of violence and feel that a protection order has been or will be taken against you for the wrong reasons, the lawyers from The Massachusetts Family Law Group can help you defend such actions. 

Attorney Irwin M. Pollack and the divorce and family law attorneys of The Massachusetts Family Law Group pride themselves on aggressive advocacy for clients and their corresponding track record of success.
