Experienced Domestic Violence Lawyers

Every year thousands of men, women, and children are victims of family violence. Equally troubling are the number of false domestic violence allegations. Under the Tennessee Domestic Violence Law no physical contact is required to make a claim of domestic abuse. The threat of physical violence is all that is necessary. Temporary or ex parte orders of protection are easy to get and carry the same consequence as the violation of a permanent restraining order, eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail for each offense.

Once a temporary order of protection is granted, it is of the utmost importance that neither party has any contact with their spouse, former spouse, or significant other. This includes phone calls, e-mails, or sending flowers. We will work with you to help avoid having a permanent or formal restraining order from being issued. Formal orders of protection are in effect for twelve months and can be extended for an additional twelve months. Having a restraining order on your record can affect your future prospects for employment, housing, prevent you from owing a gun, and can have a significantly impact many issues involved in a divorce.
