Attorney for Protection Order Violations in Lynnwood

Violating Orders of Protection

It is a crime to knowingly violate the conditions of a Protection Order. Per that order, you may be required to stop committing the abuses with which you have been charged with, you may not be permitted to return home, you can be ordered to pay child support or you may be required to enter into anger management treatment or counseling.  If you violate a protection order in Washington State, penalties can range from up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. If you continue to violate the protection order, it may become a felony offense, which is much more severe. You should contact a Domestic Violence Defense Attorney in Lynnwood as soon as possible to explore all avenues of defense if you have been accused of violating a protection order.

Although all states recognize domestic violence as a crime, it does not mean that all types of domestic violence are punishable as crimes. My name is Lance Fryrear and I have a good track record when it comes to assisting those charged with domestic violence and specifically with protection order violations. I offer a no-cost initial consultation, so call my office today to set up an appointment.

Possible Defenses for Protection Order Violations

Not only do I have ten years experience as a criminal defense lawyer, but I have seven as a former prosecutor, so I know how the other side is going to think. Protection orders are issued to prevent contact between the injured party and the suspected abuser. As the accused, you must have had knowledge of the order in order to actually violate it.  Similarly, even if you are aware of the order, if you were contacted by the victim and chose to engage contact, I can try to reduce the violation penalties.

In order to ge the best possible defense, you need to contact an experienced Washington domestic violence defense lawyer as soon as possible. I can answer your questions and will work with you to explore all avenues of defense. I will always be honest with you and will let you know what the prosecutor can and cannot prove, so pick up the phone and call me today.
