Consequences of Restraining Order
In Massachusetts, a domestic restraining order is referred to as a "209A Order". The 209A Order, issued by a Court, may require you to vacate your home immediately, prevent you from contacting your spouse or domestic partner, prevent you from visiting or seeing your children, and/or require you to surrender your firearms license or firearms identification card and any firearms you own or possess. Violation of a 209A Order is a crime punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by imprisonment for not more than 2 1/2 years in the house of corrections, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

209A Order Now: Criminal Complaint Next?
Sometimes, a person who has been served with a 209A Order but has not retained an attorney inadvertently does something that results in a criminal complaint. Allegations of domestic violence arise between spouses, domestic partners, parents and children, or grandparents and grandchildren. In a divorce proceeding, one party may accuse another of committing domestic violence and seek a restraining order out of revenge or for perceived or real threats.

Attorney Bennett works with experts and seasoned investigators to identify and interview witnesses to any alleged act of domestic violence and to develop the strongest possible defense.
Beware Immigration Consequences
Attorney Bennett is also aware that allegations of domestic violence pose a dire threat to clients who are not citizens of the United States.

Attorney Bennett will work with you to minimize or eliminate, if possible, the likelihood of any adverse immigration consequence.
