Stop an Order of Protection
Being served with a restraining order or order of protection is serious. While it does not signify an admission of guilt, an order of protection does become part of the court record. This can have an effect on many areas of your life, including employment and child custody if you are currently in court for divorce or are engaged in a child custody dispute.
The person seeking an order of protection could be making unfounded accusations of domestic violence, simply to get you removed from the house or to gain the upper hand in a child custody case. You need to attack restraining orders to protect your reputation.

Domestic Violence Defense and Dismissal of Order for Protection
Regardless of the reason for a request for an order of protection, you should not stand by and wait until the day of court. You have a right to a hearing three weeks after being served with the order. That hearing will determine whether the order of protection should be dismissed or upheld. Having an experienced defense attorney by your side is crucial in getting an order of protection dismissed. We can seek to expedite a hearing from three weeks to two days. Our restraining order defense attorneys will use their extensive experience to seek dismissal.
