12. What if the alleged Victim contacted me first and I’ve been wrongfully       accused of Violation of an Order of Protection because I responded?


Generally, an Order of Protection prohibits contact between the alleged Victim and the individual against whom the Order of Protection has been served.  A.R.S. 13-3602. A Violation of an Order of Protection occurs when the party who is prohibited from contact initiates contact despite the Order of Protection.  However, an individual who has been served with a valid Order of Protection can also be accused of having violated an Order of Protection even in instances where he or she responds to contact from the alleged victim.  A Violation of an Order of Protection can result in criminal charges.


If you have been accused of violating an Order of Protection, it is crucial to your defense that you contact a qualified criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights and gather important evidence in your defense before it is destroyed, such as text messages and emails.
