Restraining Order Violations in Orange County

Orange County Criminal Lawyer

A restraining order is a legal court order that prohibits particular conduct on the part of the individual named in the order, such as continued contact with a victim of stalking, harassment or domestic violence. A restraining order may mandate that a person stay a certain distance away from a victim or that he or she engage in no further abuse of the victim. At times, allegations of domestic violence and the enforcement of a restraining order may mean that a person will need to move out of the house he or she shares with the alleged victim.

The consequences of a restraining order are serious. It may be difficult to abide by the terms of the order, but a violation of any kind may result in misdemeanor or even felony charges and the possibility of jail time and other serious criminal penalties. If you have been accused of any kind of restraining order violation, it is important that you contact an Orange County criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
