Princeton Restraining Order Attorneys
Restraining order hearings can be very complex because it is a summary proceeding. That is, unlike just about any other court case, there is no discovery; no prep time. You show up for trial at the first hearing without knowing what the otherside will say or do. In addition, the law on the issue is also complex as it is not as simple as whether or not an act of domestic violence occurred. Our team of tough, smart attorneys know the law and know how to protect you.

If you want to appeal the entry of a final restraining order you must file the appeal within 45 days. Call the team of Princeton Restraining Order lawyers to discuss your appeal today.
Motion to Vacate/Dismiss a Restraining Order
If you have a restraining order against you and it is too late to file an appeal, your best option may be to file a motion to vacate or dismiss the restraining order. Our Princeton Domestic Violence lawyers can help you get this mark off of your record. Although there is no exact time limit as to when this motion should be filed, we usually recommend our clients wait at least one year. Call our attorneys today to discuss your specific case and your options.
Violation of Restraining Order Attorneys
One of the most serious aspects of a final restraining order is the potential violation which is written up a "contempt of court" charge. These charges are treated very seriously and could lead to jail or prison time. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients against a wide variety of contempt charges. If you are facing a contempt charge in Mercer County SUperior Court, call the team of tough, smart Domestic Violence Lawyers today.
