PFA Orders Withdrawn for a Delco-based Client
As a law firm, we at Logue Law Group handle a variety of cases daily. But, once in a blue moon, we encounter cases that leave a lasting impression even among professionals like us. And this blog is about a case that defied all expectations and had an unexpected twist that left our seasoned Pittsburgh criminal lawyers spellbound!
What Actually Happened?
It all started with a phone call a couple of months back. It was from a media-industry professional based in Delaware County.
So, this TV anchor apparently needed our help to defend a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order. He was in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend for six months. Everything was going well until one day, when he had certain disagreements with his partner.
Now, the man didn’t get into the details of the disagreement. All he confessed was that it was nothing more than a heated debate that’s quite normal in a relationship. However, his partner was utterly frustrated and applied for a Protection From Abuse, stating that the man threatened her about her career, and also blackmailed her when she told him to move out.
The Unexpected Plot Twist
Until this point, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers thought this case to be another one of those exaggerated claims. But during a detailed discussion session, we got to know something that we didn’t expect at all!
This TV anchor has already married for 5 years! What’s worse is that the moment the PFA order was issued, his wife came to know about this affair, and was devastated to the core. The whole situation became quite complicated and messy after this.
The Demands of Our Client
Now that everything was out in the open, our client became absolutely clueless about what to do. He requested our expert Pittsburgh criminal lawyers to do something that would save him from any further embarrassment. And because he was a TV-show anchor, his reputation, along with his career, was at stake.
What Did We Do?
Honestly, the revelation was quite shocking for us as well! However, our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers are hardcore professionals, and decided to take up the case. We had an hour-long internal discussion about what could be the best way to save our client’s future.
After considering every angle, we ended up with a unanimous decision. The only way to save our client was to withdraw the PFA orders. So, we advised our client to move out of his girlfriend’s place immediately. We also advised him to stop trying to establish contact with his girlfriend by any means whatsoever.
Once we secured a safe spot for our client, our team contacted his live-in partner and enquired about the details of the case. The woman confessed that it was just an argument, and she applied for the PFA in the heat of the moment. She also admitted that our client did not blackmail her, and moved out right when he came to know about the PFA orders.
The Results
Cases like this don’t take much time to go awry, and therefore, need to be handled carefully. Thankfully, in this situation, our client’s live-in partner admitted the truth, which helped us withdraw the PFA orders successfully, saving the reputation and career of our client.
That being said, a PFA order is quite serious and life-altering. So, if you need defense against PFA orders, make sure to keep our Pittsburgh criminal lawyers by your side. For more information on how we can help, drop an email at sean@seanloguelaw.com today!
