Orders Of Protection

We'll Fight For Your Order Of Protection

While working at the State's Attorney's Office, attorney Jeremy Sackett assisted hundreds of domestic violence victims in obtaining orders of protection against their abusers. He also has extensive experience handling protective orders and stalking/no-contact orders.

Judges often err on the side of caution when granting orders of protection, and police tend to do the same when filing charges for violations. However, a skilled attorney can help shift the balance in your favor. Since orders of protection can have a significant impact on your family case or criminal record, it's crucial to have the best attorney representing you to achieve the most favorable outcome.

Violating an order of protection can lead to severe and lasting consequences. A first offense may result in a Class A misdemeanor under 720 ILCS 5/12-3.4(d), while those with a prior violation or domestic battery conviction can face a Class 4 felony.



If you're charged with violating an order of protection, Sackett Law, P.C. can help protect your criminal record, employment, and ability to possess firearms.
