The majority of cases involving personal protection orders and restraining orders stem from domestic disputes. A fight between a husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, or other partners, can lead to a call to the police, which can lead to protection orders and restraining orders being issued by a judge.
If another person has obtained a personal protection order or restraining order against you, you should obtain legal advice immediately. Our firm’s criminal defense attorneys and family law attorneys can give you that advice and protect your legal rights.
