Protective Orders

For  

clients  

who  

face  

a  

domestic  

abuse  

or  

harassment  

situation,  

the

firm  

can  

help  

obtain  

a  

protective  

order  

designed  

to  

prohibit  

future

contact.   

Protective   

orders   

are   

an   

important   

defense   

mechanism

notwithstanding  

the  

existence  

of  

criminal  

charges  

against  

the  

party

responsible.  

The  

firm  

will  

assist  

the  

client  

in  

determining  

the  

type  

of

order  

appropriate  

for  

the  

client’s  

situation  

depending  

on  

the  

client’s

circumstances.  

The  

firm  

will  

guide  

the  

client  

through  

the  

process  

of

obtaining  

a  

protective  

order,  

prepare  

the  

necessary  

legal  

instruments,

and  

represent  

a  

client’s  

interests  

in  

court  

proceedings.  

Among  

other

decisions,  

a  

court  

may  

make  

changes  

to  

existing  

custody,  

parenting

time,  

and  

child  

support  

arrangements  

as  

part  

of  

the  

proceeding.  

The

firm  

is  

also  

able  

to  

assist  

with  

cases  

in  

which  

a  

client  

is  

wrongfully

accused of domestic abuse or harassment.
