Protection Order

Whether you need protection from domestic violence, harassment or threats, a protection order can provide crucial legal security. We help clients obtain restricting orders quickly and effectively, providing strong legal advocacy to ensure their safety. We also represent individuals seeking to 

challenge unjust protection orders.​

When personal safety is at risk, taking legal action may be necessary. Whether you are facing threats, harassment, or violence, a protection order can offer a crucial layer of security by setting clear legal boundaries and consequences. At AWH Family Law, we assist individuals in navigating the protection order process with urgency, compassion, and strong legal support.

​

A protection order - sometimes referred to as a restraining order - is a court order that can limit or prohibit contact between individuals in situations where there is credible evidence of a safety concern. These orders are available in a variety of circumstances, including domestic or intimate partner situations, neighbor or roommate conflicts, or other interpersonal disputes where a person feels unsafe or threatened.

​

We represent individuals seeking protection from unwanted or harmful behavior and help them pursue the legal safeguards they need. Our team works quickly to prepare filings, appear in court, and advocate for the conditions that best support your safety and peace of mind.

​

We also understand that protection orders can sometimes be misused or filed based on misunderstandings, miscommunication, or as leverage in related legal matters. If you have been served with a protection order that you believe is unjust, we are here to defend your rights and help you present your side of the story with clarity and credibility.

​

Protection order matters are time-sensitive and carry significant legal and personal consequences. Whether you are requesting protection or responding to a petition, we are here to guide you through each step of the process and help you make informed decisions in a highly stressful time.

If you have questions about your rights, your safety, or how to move forward, contact our office. We’re here to help you protect what matters most.
