Massachusetts Protective Order Attorneys
Domestic violence is a tragedy that can strike anyone. Emotions may run high during a divorce, but there is never an excuse for violence in the home. If you feel threatened in your domestic situation, we can help you utilize the protection of the court.
At Gilbert Law Offices, P.C., our Weymouth restraining order attorneys will work to help you secure a statute 209A restraining order to protect you from whatever form of abuse you are being subjected to. We understand the need for immediate action when domestic violence becomes part of your life.
209A Orders for Protection
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 209A offers the protection of the courts to those who are experiencing violence or the threat of violence at the hands of a household or family member. We know how hard it can be to reach out during such difficult times, and we will do everything within our power to help you get the help you need.
After securing a 209A abuse prevention order, the subject of the order will be barred from further contact with you. This can include removal from a shared home. If the subject attempts to initiate further contact, that contact will be considered a criminal act and that person can end up facing criminal charges for violating your restraining order.
