Penalties for Violating Protection Orders
At Johnson Law Group, we understand the gravity of protection orders and the importance of adhering to their terms. Violating a protection order is severe, with significant legal consequences.
Here is a breakdown of potential penalties:
- Criminal charges may be filed: Violating a protection order can lead to criminal charges, such as contempt of court or violation of a restraining order, potentially resulting in fines, probation, or jail time.
- Increased restrictions may be imposed: A violation can prompt the court to impose stricter terms on the existing protection order, such as extending its duration or adding new restrictions.
- Rights may be lost: In certain situations, violating a protection order can result in losing specific rights, including the right to possess firearms.
It is vital to understand that any contact with the protected individual that contravenes the order's terms can be considered a violation, regardless of how minor it seems. We strongly recommend that anyone subject to a protection order carefully review its terms and fully understand the potential repercussions of any violation. We can provide clarification and guidance if you have questions about a specific protection order.

The Process of Filing a Protection Order in Denver
At Johnson Law Group, we understand that seeking a protection order can feel overwhelming, and we can provide clear, step-by-step guidance.
Here is what you can expect:
- Gather documentation: This crucial first step involves collecting any evidence supporting your need for protection. This might include police reports, medical records, threatening messages (texts, emails, voicemails), photos of injuries, or witness statements. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be.
- Complete the petition: You must complete a petition or application for a protection order. This form will require detailed information about yourself, the abuser, and the specific incidents that have led you to seek protection. Accuracy and thoroughness are essential.
- File with the court: Once the petition is complete, file it with the appropriate court in your jurisdiction. Court clerks can assist with the filing process and answer procedural questions.
- Serve the order: After the court issues a protection order, it must be "served" on the abuser, officially notifying them of the order and its terms. Service is typically carried out by law enforcement or a professional process server.
- Attend the court hearing: A hearing will be scheduled where both parties can present their case. Attending and preparing to present your evidence and testimony is crucial.
- Enforce the order: If the abuser violates the protection order, immediately contact law enforcement. Violations can have serious legal consequences.
We understand that navigating this process can be challenging. Johnson Law Group can provide the support and guidance you need every step of the way. Call (720) 744-3513 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with a Denver order of protection lawyer today.
