Our client received a Restraining Order in Massachusetts. Although it’s civil in nature, this restraining order could show up on a full background check, causing negative immigration consequences, not being able to own a firearm while the order is active and getting denied a security clearance. Our attorneys, understanding the emotional pressure, quickly got to work.
They started gathering as much information as possible to understand the context of the situation. They built a timeline of events by doing multiple interviews with our client, gathering witness statements and reviewing video footage. At the hearing, our attorneys presented the full picture of what happened, challenging the claims while highlighting all the inconsistencies.
After considering the facts, the court agreed with our attorneys and found that the petitioner didn’t meet the legal burden required for a restraining order, sparing our client the restrictions of having a restraining order.
At Ellison Law LLC, we know how a misunderstanding can lead to bigger problems. If you’re facing a restraining order or a criminal charge in Massachusetts, contact our attorneys today so you don’t have to face the legal system alone.
