A criminal defense lawyer is a much more valuable asset when facing a restraining order because of the evidentiary considerations in these cases.  Our lawyers understand how to challenge these types of evidence and also have a more detailed understanding of the consequences you will face if the order is finalized.  Further, it can be valuable simply to have the same attorney handle all related aspects of your case—from the underlying domestic violence charges to the restraining order phase.  We will be more familiar with your case, circumstances and the types of arguments necessary to fight finalization of the restraining order.
