The violation of a protection order is a criminal offense - and a criminal offense that is unfortunately easy to commit accidentally.

Larkin, and I have been providing skilled criminal defense representation to people throughout the San Francisco Bay area for the past 29 years. Contact me today to schedule your free, confidential consultation. I am available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Protecting Your Rights and Interests throughout the Hearing Process

As a skilled criminal defense attorney, I can effectively protect your rights and interests throughout the hearing process. After an alleged violation of a protection order, you are entitled to a hearing.

However, rather than a jury of your peers, this determination will be handled entirely by a judge. Because your fate in this hearing is left up to one person, it is particularly important to have advice and representation from a skilled attorney.

Helping You Remove Protection Orders to Prevent Accidental Violations

It is very easy to accidentally violate a protection order. You may pick up your children from school, only to discover that you are inadvertently violating the protection order because your child's other parent was also at the school. If you return to your shared home to collect your things, you may run into your former partner and violate the protection order.
