Restraining Order Defense In Massachusetts – Law, Practice and Commentary
Family Legal Publishing , 664 Pages, 55 chapters, 8 ½ x 11, 450 footnotes, Copyright 2020
Here is the first book for Massachusetts lawyers that will show you how to defend against a Chapter 209A restraining order. It is heavy on strategy, tactics, samples of witness examinations, and traps for the unwary.
It even has a “quick start” guide showing all sixteen steps to prepare a case for the most successful outcome possible.
Someone starting to learn restraining order defense will find all the basics here, which so many books skip. It also contains deep analysis of the key appellate cases and concepts for advanced evidentiary hearings and appeals.
This book explains how to handle cases where the Dept. of Children and Families is involved, in divorces, in dating relationships, and what to do about surly teenagers. It covers basics like how to get evidence into the record, how to help clients testify and even how the new pet restraining order law works. (Yes, man’s best friend can even get one against the man.)
The book also contains a large collection of sample documents, such as motions, affidavits and forms. It even has the hilarious restraining order application from a crazy David Letterman fan from New Mexico who thought he was sending signals to her through his late night TV program and wanted to marry her. Yes, the judge issued an order.
It also contains several chapters about what to do if you lose, such as how to bring motions to terminate, how to start an appeal, how to deal with gun rights, and to avoid criminal prosecution.
The book is based on comprehensive study of the law, case opinions, and judicial standards for abuse protection proceedings issued by the Commonwealth. Even though it is focused on actual courtroom preparation and practice, it also also 450 footnotes, so it will serve as a tremendous resource for appellate counsel as well.
In short, if it involves questions about any aspect of restraining orders, you will find the answers here.
