Domestic Violence & No Contact Orders
Assault DV
When emotions run high and disputes occur between significant others or roommates, sometimes there are misunderstandings and sometimes people need treatment in order to manage their anger.
Parker Law understands that there are two sides to every story and sometimes false alarms occur.
It is arguable that a domestic violence conviction (DV) is as harmful to your life as a felony conviction for purposes of employment. For those in the military it is grounds for a dishonorable discharge. Professions like the nursing field will often bar anyone from the program with a DV conviction on their record. DV convictions can also result in deportation for non US citizens.
Without an attorney, it is difficult to convey your side of the story. Parker Law strives to reach resolutions that keep the DV tag off of your criminal record so that you will not lose out on future career opportunities.
Parker Law recently had an Assault DV case dismissed in Tacoma Municipal Court. Because the client was not an American citizen, Parker Law’s aggressive advocacy saved him from being deported from the United States.
Anti-Harassment Order/ No Contact Order Hearings
Unfortunately sometimes people have a motive to obtain no contact orders against you for reasons other than their own fear. When relationships do not work out or you obtain a job that someone else applied for, sometimes people get vindictive and attempt to impose an order against you for reasons other than feelings of being harassed by you.
If someone is attempting to bring an anti-harassment order against you, Parker Law will always write and submit a motion to the court on your behalf, highlighting your side of the story and relevant case law maintaining why a no contact order should not be placed against you.
Anti-harassment orders, although civil, do appear on your record and no employer wants to see that you have a no contact order imposed against you.
Parker Law has had strong success with anti-harassment order hearings. Corey Parker has had his last two no contact order hearings dismissed because he stood up for his client, cross-examined the other party and exposed the real story.
