Law Office Of Matthew Peterson

Restraining Order Attorney

1 hr

Being served with a restraining order in Massachusetts can affect your home, your job, your firearms license, and your time with your children. The Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson defends clients against 209A abuse prevention orders and 258E harassment prevention orders. A temporary order can be issued without you being heard, but you have the right to present your side at the hearing that follows, and orders may be extended or made permanent at later review hearings. We prepare evidence and witnesses for these hearings and challenge requests to extend existing orders. Violating a restraining order is a separate criminal offense, even though the order itself is civil, and we also defend clients accused of violations. Attorney Matthew W. Peterson and our team serve clients from offices in Boston and Salem. Call 617-295-7500.
