Our experienced defense attorney Mike Rothman can help you mitigate the impact of these charges and develop a defense strategy that suits your individual objectives.

The Immediate Impact Of Protective Orders

In Maryland, individuals arrested for domestic violence will be subject to a temporary restraining order, called a civil protection order in the District of Columbia. Even though the orders are temporary while the case is under investigation, it could mean the following for you:

Violating A Protective Order Leads To More Criminal Charges
