Order Of Protection Attorney In Suffolk County

Almost any call to law enforcement for domestic violence in Suffolk County or Nassau County will bring about an arrest. With an arrest, the DA in most, if not all, cases will request an order of protection, sometimes referred to as a restraining order. An order of protection can have a drastic impact on your life, keeping you from:

  • Returning to your home
  • Seeing your children
  • Possessing a firearm

Understanding Orders Of Protection In New York

The majority of orders of protection issued in New York fall into two categories: a “stay away” or “full” order of protection and a “refrain from” order. A refrain from order of protection can limit you from committing certain acts of violence or harassment. You may still be able to live, speak and meet with the other person who is being protected.

A full order of protection or stay away order will mean that you must stay away from the home, business or school of the person being protected. This could keep you from your home and from seeing your family.

Unfortunately, while orders of protection are meant to be a shield for victims, they are often used as a sword, particularly in divorce proceedings and custody battles. Under the common law, you have a right to a hearing to defend against the complainant’s need for protection. We can represent you at the hearing, and we will work to protect your rights throughout the process, pursuing the dismissal of charges, removal of an order of protection or a reduction in penalties whenever possible.
