“Obedience to law is liberty” is more than a quote carved above the main doors of Worcester’s historic former courthouse. The team at Higgins & Plante believes that compliance with clear, unequivocal court orders is paramount, and we regularly represent clients in the prosecution of claims alleging noncompliance with an existing court order or judgment. Our representation of the moving party in contempt actions have regularly resulted in both compelled compliance and sanctions for the other party’s failure to comply.  Not every court order, however, is clear and unequivocal, and not every alleged violation of a court order amounts to contemptuous conduct.  The team at Higgins & Plante has also spent years successfully defending clients against claims of noncompliance with an existing court order or judgment.
