Orders of Protection

Orders of protection, commonly known as “restraining orders”, are intended to protect victims of abuse, stalking, or harassment by requiring perpetrators to stay a certain distance away for a specified period of time. Such orders are primarily used by victims of domestic violence, however, are also used in a variety of other circumstances, including in relation to a child. These processes often carry very serious consequences. The extremely complex nature of these cases bring with them a variety of questions including:

What constitutes stalking?
How long do I have to wait before filing an order of protection?
What should I do if someone has alleged I have done something to them or their child?
How can I alert the proper authorities of a case of neglect/abuse to my child?
How long does an order of protection take effect?
What happens if the violator breaks the rules of an order of protection?

If you have an order of protection case, it is not a process that you should navigate on your own. It is essential that you contact the Aranda Law Firm at the very earliest stages of this process so that we can provide you with the knowledge needed to end the process as soon as possible.

I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, you want Ben Aranda.Why do I say that?* He returned phone calls and emails (yes, really!).* He listened attentively until he knew what was important – and he efficiently culled the rest so … More I didn’t pay for wasted time.* He is brilliant – incredible with strategy, case law, and writing arguments if you ask me. Even when I was most frightened (and lawsuits ARE scary), he inspired confidence that I was in the best possible hands.* He’s direct, realistic, and meticulous – and he has a remarkable memory.* He kept me informed and focused throughout the process.* His prices are more than fair.* And oh-by-the-way: He’s a nice guy.Like I say, I hope you don’t ever need him, but if you do: Get first dibs.You don’t want him at the other team’s table.
