Appeal of restraining order against college student granted
Appeals Court Docket Number 2007-P-1530. In January of 2007 a judge in the Dedham District Court imposed a restraining order on a college student. The complainant stated that she had a tumultuous relationship with the defendant for two and a half years. At times he would verbally abuse her, call her names and intimidate her in a manner she claimed lowered her self esteem. Defense counsel thoroughly cross-examined the woman during the restraining order hearing. His efforts disclosed that it was the complainant rather that the defendant who had engaged in harassing behavior. This notwithstanding, the judge imposed the restraining order. After the order had expired the defendant engaged our office to appeal the order. Attorney Neyman successfully argued the case to the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the order was reversed.
