Harassment Defense Attorney Minneapolis - St. Paul Minnesota Minneapolis - St. Paul Minnesota Harassment Defense AttorneyAlthough L. L. JOHNSON LAW OFFICE prides itself on providing EXCLUSIVE criminal defense representation involving ALL types of criminal offenses, we have extensive experience representing individuals accused of harassment or violating a order for protection (OFP) / harassment restraining order. Penalties under MN LawDepending on the type and level of harassment restraining order, order for protection or any type of court-ordered restraining order, the length of such an order and the consequences for violating the order vary (providing protection ranging from 30 days to 2 years with consequences for violation ranging from no jail to a full year in county jail and/or possible prison time depending on the extent of the violation). Although such orders are intended to provide protection for a person who is experiencing harassment, domestic abuse, threat or unacceptable abuse in any form, they are unfortunately also used as a means to punish or retaliate against another person who that person is upset with. With this being said, it is always recommended that a person retain competent and experienced legal representation to challenge an unfair or untrue harassment-protection order and/or defend against the accusation of violating a harassment-protection order. |
