Protective order violations, Chapter 50B violations or restraining order violations can lead to serious consequences.

Fighting to Prevent the Restraining or Protective Order
While we fight violations of protective orders, we want to prevent the order from being issued in the first place. We understand that ex-spouses seek revenge by alleging domestic violence. This may prevent you from spending time with your children or going about your daily life. That's why we provide aggressive defense as soon as you are served with the papers about a protective order hearing. We urge you to call 1-866-630-2389 when you learn that you may be served with a protective order.
When someone alleges domestic violence or harassment and goes to civil court to get a protective order or Chapter 50b order, we persuasively argue against the order. We will fight the factors that show cause for a protective order, including evidence that you were:
- Attempting to cause bodily injury
- Causing bodily injury
- Continuing harassment
- Causing a family member fear or substantial emotional distress
Protective Order, Harassment Order or Restraining Order Violations
North Carolina courts issue protective orders to prevent harassment, abuse or the possession of a weapon. Once issued, the orders are in place for one year. If you violate an order of protection or harassment order, you will be arrested and criminally charged. The consequences attach immediately upon violating the order, but we can still fight them.
