A restraining order is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly. If you have been served with a restraining order, it could affect your freedom to travel, to own a gun, to see your children, and may have a wider effect on your job and your livelihood.
If you have been charged with violating a restraining order, even if the original allegation was based on falsehoods or exaggerations, you should seek immediate legal counsel to protect yourself from further criminal penalties.
A protection order (also known as a restraining order) is a legal order issued by a court to protect an individual from harassment, abuse, stalking, or threats. These orders can carry significant legal consequences and may impact your family, employment, and criminal record.

Temporary Protection Order (TPO): Typically issued quickly and without the other party present, offering short-term protection.
You can request a protection order by filing paperwork at your local courthouse. If you’re in immediate danger, an emergency order may be granted the same day. A hearing will be scheduled to determine if a permanent order is necessary.
