On August 16, 2021, the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson achieved a NOT GUILTY for a client charged with violation of a restraining order in a jury trial held at Lowell District Court.
The case involved allegations of violating a restraining order, which posed a significant risk to the client’s immigration status as he was a green card holder. A conviction could have jeopardized his lawful permanent residency.
The incident arose when the client encountered the individual who had filed the restraining order while visiting a friend’s apartment. In a moment of panic, he chose to remain at the scene and awaited police arrival after the other party left. The jury ultimately found him not guilty, preserving both his criminal record and his green card status.
