  • When an Order of Protection is issued against you, it can be contested by requesting a hearing.

  • At a hearing, a judge hears all the facts before making a decision based on Arizona law.

  • If the judge rules against you at the hearing, you may then appeal the court's decision made at the hearing.

  • It is important to understand that it is difficult, albeit not impossible, to have an Order of Protection lifted.

  • Your lawyer will need to present significant evidence that discredits the petitioner or rebuts the reasons the Order was issued.

Be sure to comply with all terms of the Order until your legal situation is resolved to avoid unnecessary legal trouble.

Rely on your Arizona criminal defense attorney to come up with the legal strategy needed to clear your name and have the unfair Order of Protection lifted.

How to Fight an Injunction Against Harassment

Attaining an injunction against harassment is not a challenging process, but fighting one can be.

However with the right Phoenix criminal defense lawyer, you can have it dismissed or modified .

Below are the three criteria that must be met for the injunction to be issued without giving notice to the defendant:

  • There must be reasonable evidence of harassment within the year leading up to the petition filing

  • There must be good cause to believe that permanent or severe harm will occur without the injunction

  • They must verify with the court that you attempted to give notice to the defendant regarding the injunction or that there are concrete reasons as to why notice should be denied

Those who fail to meet the above three criteria still have the option to attain an injunction, but only after giving the defendant notice and scheduling a hearing.

The right criminal defense lawyer can  help you prove to the courts that there is no basis for an injunction to be filed against you.

If you’re facing an Order of Protection or Injunction Against Harassment, the first thing you need to do is contact a Phoenix criminal defense attorney who will protect your rights through every aspect of your case.
