Stalking-No Contact Orders

A Stalking No Contact Order is a civil court order that may prohibit contact, communication, or proximity to another individual. While these proceedings are civil in nature, they can have substantial consequences affecting employment, housing, firearm rights, and personal relationships.

Violating a Stalking No Contact Order may result in separate criminal charges carrying significant penalties.

These proceedings frequently involve allegations concerning repeated communications, electronic messages, social media activity, surveillance, and witness testimony regarding the parties' interactions.

Whether you are requesting protection or defending against a petition, an experienced attorney can present evidence, challenge the legal sufficiency of the allegations, cross-examine witnesses, and work to protect your rights throughout the court process.
