Warrant for Man Charged With Violating a Restraining Order Vacated

Last spring our client went into court without a lawyer after receiving a summons for a 209A restraining order. The order was issued. The man moved out of the country to live with family. A few days after he left, his wife, the person who took out the restraining order went to the police department claiming that her husband made threats through a third party. Without investigating the matter the police applied for a complaint charging our client with violating the restraining order under G.L. c. 209A section 7. They also successfully applied for a warrant for his arrest. All of this was not made known to him for several months. The man makes several trips to Massachusetts throughout the year for medical treatments.  Once he realized that there was a warrant for him he contacted Attorney Neyman and hired his office to represent him. Today we successfully moved a judge to vacate the arrest warrant. Now our client can return to Massachusetts without the worry about being arrested when he enters the country.
