Protecting the Victims of Abuse
If you fear for your safety, or your child’s safety, it is important to know that you have options. One option is to petition the court for a protective order (sometimes called a restraining order). It is not difficult to get a temporary order for protection though the process can feel intimidating. A lawyer with our firm can help prepare your documents, will stand by you in court, and will follow with your case, through representing you at a second hearing if you want a permanent restraining order.
