Tulsa Violation of Protective Order (VPO) Attorney

Protective orders are one of the most commonly filed cases in the state of Oklahoma. In Tulsa County alone, over 2,000 protective orders are filed each and every year. These protective orders commonly prohibit responding parties from having any contact with the Petitioner and often with minor children the parties’ share. The first time violation of a protective order is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of up to one (1) year in the county jail, a fine of up to $1,000.00, or both. Subsequent convictions are felonies punishable by one (1) to three (3) years in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, a fine between $2,000.00 and $10,000.00, or both. Do not make the mistake of thinking protective order violations are trivial matters. Contact the Law Offices of Greg Lavender today.
