Re: Violation of Restraining order

Definately a stcky situatation. The penalties range from a slap on the wrist to possible jail time. Obviously we would need to show the lack of actual intent which would not be too easy given the ambiguity of your message. If you would like to discuss your case further please feel free to give me a call. All My Best, Joe Vredevelt, The Cochran Firm, 305.670.3119.
