Injunction Dismissed, Dane County
Our client, a member of the military, returned from deployment and moved in with his girlfriend. The relationship was strained, and the couple had a significant argument that night. The next day, the girlfriend sought a harassment injunction against the client and he was served with a temporary restraining order. As a military member, this was significant because people subject to an injunction can be prohibited from possessing firearms, meaning a career in the military could be in peril. Our attorney was able to reach the client's girlfriend in advance of the hearing on the permanent injunction. Attorney Verhoff was able to broker a deal in which the client signed a contract, agreeing to move out of the apartment and have no contact with his girlfriend, provided she agreed to voluntarily dismiss the injunction petition.
