We Fight for You
There are two different kinds of temporary protection orders: those obtained against a family member, roommate or significant other and those obtained against neighbors, coworkers and others with whom you have no domestic relationship. The first type is handled in family court and the second is handled through local justice courts.
Most initial TPOs are issued on an Ex Parte basis, meaning that only one side needs to be heard in order to have one issued. TPOs can stay in force for a maximum of 30 days. Upon filing an application for an extension, the court will set a hearing where both parties have the opportunity to be heard and present their argument for or against extending the TPO.
When you hire our firm, we will take the time to listen to your concerns and explain your legal options. Our lawyers will put together a plan of action designed to help you achieve your goals and protect your interests. We will represent you at the extension hearing and present the strongest possible case to support your position in the matter.
