Violation of Restraining Orders

Violation of a Restraining Order is a criminal offense, defined by General Laws Chapter 209A, Section 7. The first essential element of the crime is the existence of a restraining order in effect on the date of offense. The prosecutor must also prove that the defendant knew about the restraining order, and that the defendant violate a specific provision in the order through some act. Accidental contact may be a defense to this charge, but the fact that the person who obtained the restraining order initiated contact is not a defense.

I have no words to explain my gratitude for Mr Dudley. He is been my attorney for 3 years and did excellent work to help me out from "OUI" & family case. I would definitely recommend him. He was always there to guide me.

Attorney Goar defended me in a criminal case in which I had been falsely accused of a crime by my business competitors. He was successful in getting the criminal case dismissed and then represented me in a civil case against the people who had falsely accused me. Thanks to Attorney Goar I cleared...
