Frequently Asked Questions

How Does a Restraining Order Work in Massachusetts?

A restraining order in Massachusetts, often referred to as a 209A order, is a civil order aimed at preventing abuse. This order can demand that the alleged abuser refrain from contact with the victim, vacate a shared home, and relinquish firearms. At Lynch & Owens, P.C., we assist clients in both obtaining and contesting restraining orders, ensuring that actions taken are fully compliant with legal standards while protecting our client's interests.

What Are the Consequences of a Domestic Violence Charge?

In Massachusetts, domestic violence charges can lead to severe consequences, including restraining orders, fines, community service, mandated counseling, and potential jail time. Additionally, these charges may impact employment, child custody arrangements, and immigration status. Our experienced attorneys are here to mitigate these risks by offering a robust defense and exploring all available legal avenues to favorably resolve the charges.

Can Domestic Violence Charges Be Dropped?

While the alleged victim cannot directly drop charges in Massachusetts, as the case is prosecuted by the state, it may be possible to have charges reduced or dismissed with skilled legal intervention. At Lynch & Owens, P.C., we evaluate all aspects of your case and negotiate with prosecutors to seek the best possible outcome, prioritizing our client's future and freedom.
