What Did I Do Wrong?

If you are accused of a restraining order violation, it means that you defied (a) an automatic 72-hour no-contact injunction following an arrest for spousal abuse, or (b) a permanent restraining order that continues the temporary order.Virtually any action can be considered a violation of a restraining order:

  • Showing up at the house or the person’s workplace
  • Going to your children’s school or day care
  • Phone calls, e-mails or letters
  • Sending flowers or other tokens of apology
  • Messages to the victim via a third party
  • Stalking, harassment, hang-ups or threats

Protecting Your Rights and Reputation

To be arrested and charged, you must have been served with the restraining order or had knowledge that it was issued (i.e., the victim, friend or family member informed you of the order). We explore all defenses, including lack of intent to harm or intimidate, false accusations and motivations of the victim relating to a pending custody dispute or divorce.

In one case, we represented a man accused of driving by the house to spy on his estranged wife. Attorney Allen Gasper proved that the incident never occurred; receipts proved that our client was on the other side of Colorado at the time.

We also serve clients in divorce and family law matters. Managing Attorney, Carrie E. Kelly, heads the GLG division that practices in divorce and custody law.

We fight the charges to preserve your freedom and avoid the collateral consequences. If you were arrested for a restraining order violation, contact us for a free initial consultation.
