We have extensive experience representing both parties in domestic violence and domestic abuse cases. Timing is crucial in a domestic violence dispute. There is a short time period — eight to ten days — between the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and the issuance of a Final Restraining Order.
- We have experience with domestic violence cases involving:
- Family violence
- Domestic abuse
- Child abuse
- Restraining orders/orders of protection
- Violations of restraining orders/contempt of court
For a restraining order to be issued, you must have committed one of 12 enumerated offenses, including assault, harassment, burglary or trespass. We will challenge the underlying criminal charges to prevent issuance of a restraining order against you.
We counsel clients on how to either obtain or defend against restraining orders, particularly domestic violence Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) and Final Restraining Orders.
