Protective Order? Restraining Order? Injunction Against Harassment?These are all different names for a similar legal document that prevents contact with a certain person or persons. Interfering with or failing to comply with a court order can have legal consequences including fines and jail time. Contact my office online or at 602-795-0770 to discuss pursuing or defending against any of the above. |
I will prepare and file any documentation required during the process and will aggressively protect your interests in all hearings. When you are served with a restraining order, you have a right to request a hearing with the judge, which must be set within 5-10 days. I will attend the hearing on your behalf and will exercise your right to cross-examine the party seeking the restraining order. When appropriate, I will seek to have the order either quashed or modified to allow reasonable access to children or use of weapons.

Arizona Contempt of Court Lawyer
At the Law Office of Rachelle S. Ferraro, I offer more than 12 years of experience to people throughout southern Arizona in a wide range of criminal matters, including restraining orders. I have spent my entire career as a criminal defense attorney, and have been certified as a criminal law specialist by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization. I have a strong commitment to the principle that you are innocent until proven guilty, and I take a straightforward approach on your behalf, making certain you are fully aware of all developments in your case and that you have a realistic expectation of your chances of success.
While having a restraining order or an injunction against harassment in effect against you is a civil matter, if you are accused of violating the order, the charge will become a criminal offense. The criminal charge, "Contempt of Court" or "Interference with Judicial Proceedings" can subject you to jail, probation, fines, and potentially mandatory counseling. For those reasons, you need an aggressive, experienced attorney on your side to ensure the orders are either quashed or modified in the first place to avoid criminal prosecution or to defend you against false allegations or unavoidable violation of the order.
