Denver Restraining Order Violation 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 another family member got a restraining order against you, you need a skilled defense attorney on your side.

Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C., 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 an extension of a temporary order
- Mandatory protection order, which is a unique type of criminal restraining order that is issued against juveniles or adults once they are charged with a felony or misdemeanor. The accuser is banned from contacting, harassing or making threats against the alleged victim.
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. And, often, restraining orders are granted with very little argument to the contrary. The alleged victim only needs to present preponderance of the evidence.
At Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C., the firm challenges the prosecution and accuser's story. Is the person filing the restraining order truly afraid of the other person? What is the motive for seeking a restraining order? The lawyers at the firm are skilled at putting together cases that can persuade the court in the alleged abuser's favor. In fact, often just having a lawyer shows the accuser that you are serious about fighting the order of protection, and many times we can resolve the issue without litigation.
