McKinney Restraining Order Lawyer

A restraining or protective order can limit who you can talk to and where you can go. Chiles McGuire Criminal Law helps you protect your rights and tell your side of the story.

These orders can affect your rights to communicate with others and restrict your freedom in general, and they often sit right next to a family violence allegation. If you are facing one in McKinney or Collin County, you should understand what it says before you do anything it might prohibit.

An emergency protective order can issue at your first appearance after a family violence arrest, without the other person being there. Possessing a firearm while subject to one can be charged as a separate offense. If the order grew out of a charge, start with our page on family violence and domestic violence defense.
