Restraining Order Attorney in Los Angeles

What to do if you need a Restraining Order

You can be in a situation where you find that you are in need of filing a restraining order against someone due to continuing harassment and even stalking. These are serious circumstances that can lead to violence and in some cases even death. If you or a loved one is being persecuted by someone, you need a highly experienced Los Angeles Restraining order attorney to protect your safety.

There are different types of restraining orders, based on the circumstances. The most common are:

• Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order: This type is filed in a domestic situation, such as from a spouse, family member, etc. It is normally effective for three weeks, but can be made into a permanent restraining order for 1 to 3 years;
• Emergency Protective Order: If you have an immediate threatening domestic situation, this type is filed for immediate protection and safety. It is only valid for 5 days;
• Civil Harassment Restraining Order: This type is used to stop harassment, threats, or stalking by someone other than family members, such as roommates, co-workers or neighbors;
• Criminal Protective Order: If you have an ongoing domestic violence case, this type prevents your abuser from contacting you in any way except through lawyers.
