Orders of Protection & Restraining Orders

Clients who require emergency protection often feel further threatened and intimidated by the legal process. Even the fundamental question of how to get a restraining order can seem overwhelming. We will take the time to answer all of your questions in a clear and straightforward way, and help you understand all of your options. We will then work with the courts to protect your safety and security.

If you are in a relationship in which you or your children are the victims of family violence, we will help you obtain a protective order or a temporary restraining order. Once the court has issued a protective order or restraining order on your behalf, violation of its conditions may result in civil and criminal penalties. We will assist you in filing for a protective order or restraining order and represent you throughout the process, to ensure that the court’s orders are enforced and that your interests are protected.
