Definition of No-Contact Orders:

A no-contact order, as the name suggests, means an order that is issued by the court to protect victims of harassment or violence. These no-contact orders restrict communication, whether this means in-person, via a telephone, or some other electronic device.

Violating a no-contact order can come with even more dire consequences, even if the other party made the first contact.

Even a simple “hello” is considered a violation. These orders are mandatory with some crimes, such as harassment, stalking, domestic violence or sex assaults – all of which are crimes that John R. Grasso defend.

A few legal defenses that are plausible for violation of no-contact orders include:

·         False accusations –  the victim or reporter falsely accused the person of making contact.

·         Impersonation or False Identity –  It could be an instance of someone impersonating the defendant.

Violating no-contact orders should not be taken lightly, especially if the defendant is on probation for some other criminal offense.

If you’ve been accused of violating a protective order, contact a lawyer immediately. The Rhode Island Law Offices of John R. Grasso will investigate witnesses, testimonies, and other evidence, in order to provide the best possible defense.
