Tracy Teiger at the Teiger Law Center, Georgia contempt defense attorney, represents those who have been charged with Contempt of Court, which can sometimes accompany conspiracy charges or other accusations of fraud. Defined as a willful and deliberate violation of a court order, it encompasses outright disobedience/disregard for a Georgia court order, misconduct during a courtroom proceeding, or any action that is disrespectful to the court or interferes in any way with court proceedings.
The charge is serious and penalties and punishments can be harsh. Full or partial payment or compliance with the court order may be demanded and the defendant may be incarcerated until it is. Court costs and the other side's attorney fees may be added, as well as other fines and sanctions.
If you are in violation, we may be able to negotiate a solution that will help you get in compliance. If you feel you are not in violation, we will work hard to build a strong case in your defense. We may argue that the violation did not occur or that the violation was not willful, such as accidentally being in the same store with someone who has a restraining order against you.
Family Law Contempt Charges Defense Lawyer Alpharetta
Contempt charges in family law usually stem from non-payment of child support or alimony, or child visitation/custody. We advise that you keep good records and receipts and bring a witness to visitation exchanges. These things can be helpful in defending your case. If your case involves corporate crime, in conjunction with white collar crimes such as mortgage fraud, identity theft, or tax evasion, we also encourage you to maintain careful records.
