Filing Personal Protection Orders against Domestic Violence

When you file a personal protection order, the court orders the abuser to stay away from you, your home and your place of work. The initial order is temporary and can be challenged by the other party at a hearing. At this hearing, the order will either be rescinded or it will be extended for six months to one year.

A former police officer, Dennis J. Rickert has much experience dealing with abusive relationships. As a lawyer, he has handled many domestic violence cases in conjunction with divorce and other family law issues.

Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges

Being charged with domestic violence often means you have to quickly find a new place to live. If you have children, you will have trouble being able to see them. And if your case is particularly severe, you may also face charges of aggravated assault, battery or other violent crimes.

Attorney Rickert will personally handle every aspect of your case himself. He provides each client with the dedicated service they deserve. To discuss domestic violence during a free initial consultation, call 586-649-3826 or contact his office online.
