Seeking a restraining order
A restraining order is a court order prohibiting one individual from acting against another. A restraining order can be customized to address the specific needs of the party or parties involved: protection from physical acts of violence or protection from verbal threats or stalking, for example.
In most cases, a temporary restraining order is issued to protect the victim or victims. Then, in a hearing the claim will be investigated to determine whether the acts are classified as domestic violence. At this point, a restraining order may be issued for an extended period of time.
We are committed to helping you keep yourself and your children safe from acts of domestic violence. After investigating your claims, we will seek a legal option that best aims to protect your safety.
Defending against a restraining order
If a restraining order has been made against you, it is important to understand what you can and cannot do from a legal standpoint. Any deviation from the terms of the restraining order may result in a restraining order violation. Our firm can help you respond to a domestic violence restraining order, aiming to preserve your relationships with family members and keep your record clean.
