Domestic violence convictions can lead to long-term consequences including loss of right to bear arms, loss of liberty, family court orders and a permanent record. These are emotionally charged cases, often with multiple sides to the story. At Ferrara Law, we have consistently challenged state’s evidence and testimony, while aggressively advocating for clients.
Restraining Orders
A restraining order is more than just a piece of paper; it can dramatically impact your life. The temporary orders often issued at the outset can force you to leave your home, separate you from your children, and prohibit you from possessing firearms. Our firm is well-versed in all restraining order situations and we are prepared to protect you through the process.

Common Questions
Can the alleged victim drop the charges?
In a criminal case, the prosecutor decides whether to file or dismiss charges, not the alleged victim. What the alleged victim says still matters, which is why an attorney should be involved early.
Will a domestic violence case affect my right to own firearms?
It can. Protective orders and certain convictions can restrict firearm possession. We explain exactly how your case could affect you.
Can I contact the other person if there is a protective order?
Follow every term of any court order exactly. Violating an order can lead to new charges. Ask us before any contact.
