Avoiding the Imposition of a Protective Order
Within two weeks from the issuance of a temporary protective order, a hearing will be scheduled for a final protective order. Trying to defend yourself at this hearing is not wise. This is your best opportunity to avoid more serious consequences in the months and years ahead, so an effective defense is essential.
Our firm will energetically defend you at this hearing. Mr. Parris can present evidence in your favor, call witnesses, and challenge other witnesses' testimony. His goal will be to avoid the imposition of the order. If that cannot be prevented, he will seek to mitigate the conditions of the order.
Defending People Accused of Criminal Domestic Violence
If you are subject to an order of protection, a conviction for misdemeanor assault is treated as a Class C felony. For all intents and purposes, that makes you a convicted felon under federal law. You will be unable to own or possess a firearm. You may be prohibited from holding a job with federal, state or municipal governments. You will have a criminal record and may find it more difficult to obtain employment in the private sector.
Robert L. Parris will vigorously defend your rights and your freedom. He will take every opportunity to challenge the prosecutor's evidence and present evidence in your favor.
Do not hesitate in seeking legal representation. Your future is at stake.
