Chicago-Area Attorneys Defending Clients In Domestic Battery And Related Cases

If you’ve been accused of domestic battery or a related charge in the State of Illinois, law enforcement officers may have advised your accuser to obtain an order of protection. Orders of protection are issued by courts when someone says they are afraid of an individual. The Illinois laws governing orders of protection were designed to help manage menacing situations, and in many cases they achieve success. However, like any other legal remedy, orders of protection can be abused. In many cases, the alleged victim of a domestic battery will use the order of protection to gain leverage against his or her spouse or cohabitant. This could be damaging to one’s reputation and legal standing. The Rolling Meadows law firm of Brucar & Yetter has represented many clients who have been served with orders of protection. Our domestic criminal defense attorneys have been very successful in having frivolous orders of protection vacated.

Orders of protection—or restraining orders as their called in some jurisdictions—are often recommended by Illinois police officers, the courts, or victim advocates as a precaution. However, these parties are often acting on limited information. Our attorneys have seen it time and again: clients from Cook, Kane, or DuPage County will come to our office in absolute shock that they have been served with an injunction. They know that they’ve done nothing wrong, but now they have a document ordering them to stay away from their spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, or ex. Sometimes they aren’t even allowed near their own children until the matter is resolved. If this happens to you, the Chicago-area law office of Brucar & Yetter can help.
