Beauchamp will make all the difference in getting your side of the story across to the judge, who has the sole power to lift a restraining order of any kind.

An injunction against harassment is an official court order that prohibits the defendant from contacting a person (who is not a spouse or family member) who has accused him or her of harassment, stalking, or abuse. An injunction is an order issued by a court that prohibits a person from doing certain actions. In addition to a standard injunction against harassment issued after a court hearing, a temporary injunction may be issued prior to or during a trial and an emergency injunction may be issued by a law enforcement agency if courts are closed.

An injunction against harassment may be issued even when there is not enough valid evidence to back it, leaving a person labeled as something he or she is not and forcing him or her to avoid conduct with a person that was not harmed in any way.

If you have been served an injunction against harassment, it is vital to contact a defense attorney who has enough knowledge and experience to defend your rights. Your attorney can request a hearing to challenge the validity of your injunction against harassment, possibly getting it removed so you can go about your life as you did before.
