Need a Restraining Order in California?
Representing both petitioners and respondents for over five years, Jackie Adams specializes in restraining orders related to civil harassment, domestic violence, workplace violence, and elder abuse. Whether you’re in need of protection or the one who has been ordered to be restrained, an experienced restraining order lawyer can help you understand what’s at stake and how to comply.
- Civil harassment restraining orders — Civil harassment restraining orders are typically used when someone not part of your immediate family unit is harassing, threatening, stalking, or abusing you.
- Domestic violence restraining orders — Domestic violence restraining orders are typically used to restrain someone with whom you have (or have had) a close relationship due to abuse.
- Workplace violence restraining orders — Employers can request workplace violence restraining orders on behalf of employees who are in danger of violence in the workplace. If you are the employee, you cannot request this type of restraining order, but you can pursue either a civil harassment or domestic restraining order based on your relationship with the other person.
- Elder / dependent adult abuse restraining orders – This type of restraining order is reserved for victims of abuse who are age 65 or older and dependent adults ages 18 through 64 who have certain disabilities (mental or physical) requiring assistance.
If you are a victim, your safety is priority number one and we can help you obtain the appropriate form of court protection promptly. If you’ve been served a restraining order, you could face serious consequences, making it vital to understand how to comply. In either case, the situation is urgent.
