Protective Orders Attorney in Jacksonville
Understanding Restraining Orders
Protective orders prevent one person from legally contacting another in accordance with the law. Once a protective order is granted by the court, both parties are expected to follow the outlined rules and regulations. As a result, a violation can happen at any time, whether that is accidentally traveling down the wrong street, sending a text message, or even unknowingly attending the same event. If you are accused of a protective order violation, consult with a Jacksonville protective order attorney from The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm as soon as possible.
A protective order negatively affects your life. Not only are you prevented from going certain places, attending certain events, and reaching out to certain people, but you may be unable to access firearms. There are no exceptions to this penalty once it's been ordered, even for military members. The Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer at The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm can help protect your rights when you are being targeted by a protective order.

The Opinions That Matter Most
Read What Our Clients Are Saying

I was facing 3 charges, granted the police officers completely overcharged and without merit, however, Trevor knew what to do in order to prepare a strong case to make sure that when he spoke with the DA this would be clearly displayed. If convicted of one of the charges I was accused of it would have put my employment in jeopardy. Needless to say, I was overjoyed and elated when I received his call that "ALL" charges had been dismissed! He charged me a reasonable fee and accepted a payment plan! I am extremely pleased with his service and would recommend him in a heartbeat!- Former Client

I hired Mr. Avery to represent me for my custody case. He was upfront with me about what to expect right from the beginning and he came through. He was easy to talk to, and I knew he was being honest with me about my case. I had to call him a couple of times after business hours because of my work schedule and he still made time to answer my questions. I have my kids thanks to Mr. Avery. I would recommend him to anyone.- Former Client
