Like misdemeanors, protection orders are often dismissed as trivial matters when they are anything but.
Protection from Abuse and Protection from Stalking orders are poorly understood and carry severe
consequences, such as the loss of certain rights and exposure to felony charges for even inadvertent
violations.
On the other side, there are many people who need such orders. Navigating the court system is difficult,
and the applications require reliving events the petitioner may not want to revisit. The assistance of
counsel when seeking a protection order can ensure your petition is drafted clearly and meets the
qualifications of the statute as neatly as the facts allow. After all, a well-written application prepares the
judge to accept your version of events.
If you or a loved one is faced with a protection order, or if you or a loved one needs a protection order,
please give me a call. I would love to talk to you about your options and how I can help.
