Phoenix Order of Protection Defense Attorneys

Orders of Protection are issued as a civil action for the purpose of restraining a person from committing an act against or contacting the asking party and generally prohibits the defendant from contacting the plaintiff and/or other specifically designated persons from coming near that person’s residence or place of employment on a showing that there is reasonable cause to believe that physical harm may otherwise result.

In Arizona, an Order of Protection is issued by a superior court judge, justice of the peace or magistrate. Typically the order is issued without notice to the defendant and is effective to prohibit contact immediately upon serving. An Order of Protection is valid for one year with an option for renewal upon the request by the complainant. A defendant is entitled to contest the Order of Protection at a civil hearing. If the Order of Protection is ordered to be upheld after the hearing and the defendant then violates the Order of Protection at anytime, the defendant may be charged with an interference with judicial proceedings offense. An aggravated assault charge may also be imposed if an assault is committed while the Order of Protection is in place.
