Richmond Protective Order Attorney
Do you need a protective order because you have been subjected to domestic violence? Do you have questions about how to have a protective order issued or enforced or how to block one? Do you want a lawyer on your side who knows both sides of the issue and can help you effectively deal with this sensitive and serious issue?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should contact me, Eddy Paul Rice, IV, today to schedule a free initial phone consultation. With over 30 years of experience, I am here to help you learn more about your rights and take action when facing a domestic violence matter that involves the use of a protective order.
As part of both my criminal and family law practices, I have extensive experience when it comes to using the legal components and procedures of a protective order to help my clients.
Helping Clients Obtain a Protective Order
I am aware that domestic violence calls are some of the most dangerous calls that the police handle. I take these matters just as seriously and I strongly believe in using protective orders to help people in abusive situations gain legal protection. I can help you apply for a preliminary protective order before a clerk. I can also help you handle this matter afterwards, especially if this is a component of a divorce action and you need to protect yourself and your children when negotiating custody and visitation issues.
Assisting Those Trying to Block a Protective Order
As a Richmond protective order attorney who also has extensive experience defending people charged with all types of criminal offenses, I know how important it is to quickly act if you are accused of domestic violence. If you are trying to block a protective order or have it lifted because you believe you have been falsely accused or believe a spouse is trying to gain an advantage in a divorce, I can help you mount an aggressive defense to protect your interests, your record, and your reputation.
A conviction for a violent offense related to violating a protective order can result in a permanent mark on your record, jail time, fines, loss of access to children, as well as your ability to own a firearm.
The effects of a protective order and a conviction for a criminal charge associated with domestic violence are particularly serious if you are military personnel. As a former Army Captain I know the other issues, laws, and consequences you may be subjected to and I know how to handle them strategically.
