A: If your boyfriend did not physically touch or threaten your mother, a protective order should not be granted. Likewise, if he never touched her offensively or made her reasonably apprehend unlawful contact then the criminal charge of assault and battery should be dismissed. Your boyfriend needs a good lawyer experienced in the domestic criminal field. Give my office a call at 703-352-9044 and we can discuss possible defenses and court representation. I have handled many of these types of cases and can help him obtain the best possible result.
