Protective Orders Attorney in Jacksonville
Understanding Restraining Orders
Protective orders prevent one person from legally contacting another in accordance with the law. Once a protective order is granted by the court, both parties are expected to follow the outlined rules and regulations. As a result, a violation can happen at any time, whether that is accidentally traveling down the wrong street, sending a text message, or even unknowingly attending the same event. If you are accused of a protective order violation, consult with a Jacksonville protective order attorney from The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm as soon as possible.
A protective order negatively affects your life. Not only are you prevented from going certain places, attending certain events, and reaching out to certain people, but you may be unable to access firearms. There are no exceptions to this penalty once it's been ordered, even for military members. The Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer at The Trevor J. Avery Law Firm can help protect your rights when you are being targeted by a protective order.

Mr Avery and his team are great, I needed some help with a criminal matter and was looking around to find an attorney that would be absolutely truthful regarding my case and someone that wouldn’t just want to take my money. I’ve had bad experiences in the past, but Mr. Avery was on top of it and very insightful, he kept me informed on the process every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands and never had to stress. Thank you Trevor and the team!- Lily G.

Very upfront honest lawyer. Tough to find that integrity now a days in a attorney. He couldn't do everything and said so upfront gave a price and even offered a deposit of much less. Referred another attorney that could do everything. For that, I give five stars. Some might think it's much but time is money and appreciate yours and your honesty. (He doesn't get paid for consultation many charge for that) Thank you. Staff was super nice. She called me immediately when I left a email. He got back exactly when he said he would and discussed options.- Christina B.
