Hamilton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/13/2015 -- While restraining orders can be an effective way to prevent violence, the downside to these powerful court orders is that with the ease of their procurement comes the potential for abuse. False accusations and harsh terms of an order can cause damage to individuals' personal and professional lives, all without confirmation that the domestic abuse has truly occurred – complainants can go to court and have a restraining order enacted against a defendant without that person being in court to defend themselves. Individuals wrongfully accused of domestic violence or abuse, or for whom the conditions of a restraining order are unnecessarily and disruptively limiting, can find the support and legal expertise they need to overturn or lighten a court order with the law offices of Lance Brown & Associates.
When accused of violence and hit with a restraining order, defendants often feel as if no one will believe their side of the story, or empathize with their situation. Lance Brown understands the complexity of individuals' relationships with one another, and will never judge clients based on the accusations against them – everyone is innocent before proven guilty, and Lance Brown & Associates work to remind the courts that evidence against their defendants must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has occurred.
Restraining orders can also force their targets to move from their homes, lose their pets and contact with their children, pay financial support to their alleged victims, and be unable to own a firearm. In some cases, these terms – which may come standard with the temporary restraining order awarded by a judge, who will not know the entire situation – will deeply impact a defendant's life, sometimes as a result of a desire for revenge or to gain a legal advantage on the part of the other party. Lance Brown & Associates can represent clients to ensure that they are not taken advantage of or subject to unfair terms.
