Indiana No-Contact Order Attorneys
No-Contact Orders & Domestic Violence Cases
A restraining order and no-contact order might sound like they would be the same thing, however, there are major differences between these two types of court orders. While both are intended to provide protection to individuals who have been threatened, the filing costs, the duration of the order, and the consequences for violating its terms can vary.
What is a No-Contact Order?
A no-contact order is a criminal matter, and as a result, the person named in the order can’t have contact with the alleged victim. When you are accused of domestic violence or abuse, a prosecutor or law enforcement official will file a no-contact order with the court.
Common requirements of no-contact orders include:
- The named individual can’t come within a certain distance of the victim
- No physical contact between the person named in the order and the victim
- The offender can’t enter the victim’s family home or residence
- Offenders are prohibited from selling marital property
What are the Penalties for Violating a No-Contact Order?
Although the purpose of a no-contact order is designed to protect the victim from suffering further harm or intimidation, these orders might be enforced based on false accusations. That is why our legal professionals at Massillamany Jeter & Carson LLP are here to fight for the rights of our clients who have wrongfully been issued no-contact orders.
Possible consequences for violating a no-contact order include:
- Expensive Fines
- Loss of civil rights
- Jail or prison time
- Enforcement of an even stricter restraining order
- Other criminal penalties

"Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction."
My name is Kelley R., owner of Wishes Dance Studio. As a small business owner in Fishers, Indiana I have found having a great attorney to be more valuable to me than great accountant. Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction. His knowledge of small business protected me in areas I didn't even know existed. As a result, it gave me peace of mind, takes away the worry and lets me concentrate on growing the business.- Kelley R. -
"Amazing and thorough..."
Thomas Blessing and his legal aid, Jacqueline, we're so amazing in the manner in which my grandson was advocated for in our local school system. The situation was difficult, to say the least, and Tom fought ethically and capably to protect our dignity and rights for my grandson's educational needs. We won more than the right for him to attend school as an average student, but also make-up time. I would recommend Tom and his team to help with anything educational legal issues you might have.- Kathy -

"We highly recommend this firm"
Our family has retained M&J LLP on several occasions. We were under great stress, did not know what to do next, and believed our situation was hopeless when we met with Mario M., Chris J., and staff. These people are not only brilliant, educated lawyers, but proved to personally care about what happened to our family. We feel deeply indebted to Mario M. particularly for the caring service we have been receiving. We cannot say enough good things to describe the responsible legal assistance we have received over the past year. We highly recommend this firm and will definitely use their services in the future if necessary- Lynn C.
