A Skilled Defense Against Protective Orders

Protective orders – also known as restraining orders – can seriously impact your rights and freedom. They can prevent you from going to certain places, contacting certain people and even visiting your home or seeing your children.

Types Of Protective Orders

We will have your back in situations involving Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs), Domestic Violence Orders (DVOs) and Interpersonal Protective Orders (IPOs). These orders apply to different situations, as described below.

Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs)

These orders go into effect immediately. They’re available on an emergency basis. Fortunately, they’re temporary, and you’re entitled to challenge the order at a subsequent hearing that usually takes place within two weeks. It’s critical to have a lawyer at that hearing. We can defend you against the issuance of a more long-term order.

Domestic Violence Orders (DVOs)

These orders apply to domestic abuse situations involving family members, current or former romantic partners or those in certain other relationships. They can last several years. If you’re facing a potential DVO, don’t skimp on getting legal representation. We can protect you and strategically challenge the grounds for the order.

Interpersonal Protective Orders (IPOs)

These orders apply in situations involving dating relationships. They involve allegations of sexual assault, stalking or other types of abuse. They may be issued on a temporary or long-term basis. We know what it takes to fight the allegations in these proceedings.
