Orders of Protection Legal Help in Williamson County
20 Years of Combined Criminal Defense Legal Experience in the Nashville Area
Orders of protection (often referred to as restraining orders, orders for protection and temporary restraining orders) carry two important distinctions to bear in mind, regardless of whether you seek to file one or dispute one. Orders of protection are:
- A very necessary tool in providing needed protection from violence
- Very often abused by individuals who file them, resulting in a possibly unfair legal outcome for the accused
At the Franklin, Tennessee, law firm of Brasfield & Milazo, P.C., we have handled hundreds of family law, domestic violence and criminal law cases in our two decades of combined legal experience. Firm partners and lawyers Shayne Brasfield and John Milazo are skilled both at 1)obtaining immediate protection for victims of child and spousal abuse and other forms of violence; and 2) contesting orders of protection when they are filed in regard to false allegations.
Do you have questions about filing or contesting an order of protection? Call 615-599-7719 for experienced legal help.
Orders for protection can highly restrict an individual's rights, including the right to:
- Contact the filer of the order
- Enter his or her home (if the home is shared with the filer of the order)
- Contact his or her own children
Eventually, orders of protection can create housing issues, restrict the target of the order from owning fire arms, and result in jail time if the order is violated.
We can help victims of domestic abuse gain fast protection from abusers, and can fully investigate events in preparation for contesting orders of protection. We can also handle ex parte hearings both for victims and for the accused. For more information regarding our orders of protection legal services, contact us for a no-charge initial consultation.
