Restraining Orders & Violations of Restraining Orders

Denver, Colorado, Restraining Order Lawyers

Restraining orders and orders of protection are meant to protect abused people from their abusers; however, significant others and family members may be wrongfully restrained from being in their own homes. If this is true for you, talk with an attorney right away.

Even if you do not agree with the restraining order, if one is in effect even temporarily, you must follow it to the letter or you will be arrested and criminally charged for the violation. If your spouse or family member got a restraining order against you, you need a skilled defense attorney on your side.

At Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C., the firm represents clients throughout the Denver metro area and Colorado's Front Range. Attorney Shazam Kianpour is a former government lawyer who understands the court system and judges' criteria for issuing and extending restraining orders. He can protect your legal rights and explain your options when your life is hindered by a:

• Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), which is often quickly issued by a judge after an allegation of domestic violence
• Permanent Restraining Order (PRO), which is a longer extension of the temporary order
• Mandatory Protection Order, which is a unique type of criminal restraining order that is issued against juveniles or adults once a felony or misdemeanor is charged against them

Restraining orders have a dramatic effect on your life, who you can see and talk to, where you live, and what contact you can have with your children. Even if the person who got the restraining order against you changes his or her mind, you are still legally restrained from moving back to your home or contacting your family.

Restraining Order Violations

Violating a restraining order can result in new charges being filed, jail time and/or probation. The most important thing to know about orders of protection violations is that the alleged violation must have been a knowing violation. You must have been served with the order of protection to be held by it. For this reason, make no statements to the police before talking with an experienced lawyer.
