Orders of Protection

Orders of protection, commonly known as “restraining orders”, are intended to protect victims of abuse, stalking, or harassment by requiring perpetrators to stay a certain distance away for a specified period of time. Such orders are primarily used by victims of domestic violence, however, are also used in a variety of other circumstances, including in relation to a child. These processes often carry very serious consequences. The extremely complex nature of these cases bring with them a variety of questions including:

What constitutes stalking?
How long do I have to wait before filing an order of protection?
What should I do if someone has alleged I have done something to them or their child?
How can I alert the proper authorities of a case of neglect/abuse to my child?
How long does an order of protection take effect?
What happens if the violator breaks the rules of an order of protection?

If you have an order of protection case, it is not a process that you should navigate on your own. It is essential that you contact the Aranda Law Firm at the very earliest stages of this process so that we can provide you with the knowledge needed to end the process as soon as possible.

He's very easy to talk with and he personally kept in constant communication with me-I never had to speak with an assistant or secretary. His pricing was reasonable for an attorney and he didn't stop until we received the results … More I wanted with my custody case. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

My family used Ben for a step-parent adoption. I could not be happier with our choice in representation. Ben made it seamless to get things done, made every step easy to understand, and got everything completed in a timely manner, even … More during COVID. He was always there to answer any questions we had and was never annoyed with my follow ups. Our family will forever be grateful for Ben’s hard work and getting this done for our family.

My case was complicated and very unusual. Actually, I was afraid I would not be able to find anyone to take my case. I met with Ben and he accepted my case with confidence which was quite comforting. He took immediate action to have an … More unjustified withholding temporarily stopped. The final judgement was exactly what I had hoped for and I even had money returned to me by the state. Ben's billing was accurate and not exaggerated. I will recommend everyone I can to The Aranda Law Firm! It was much better in many ways than the highly advertised, local family law firm I previously retained!! Go Ben!!

We hired Ben for a contractor that screwed us out of thousands of dollars. We knew contracts are not Ben's main focus but we heard great things about him, both online and referrals. We took a shot and very happy we did. We recouped … More thousands the contractor stole from us, in cash! It wasn't everything but a very large portion. His fee was extremely fair and for this, we HIGHLY reccomend him!!

Ben guided me throughout a process that should have been intensely difficult, but it never crossed that line thanks to his service. Legal processes can be intimidating, but Ben made me feel taken care of from the beginning and he proved … More that he had my best interest in mind. He showed the utmost respect for my situation and provided helpful information and feedback for the decisions I had to make. Ben went above and beyond to help me and I cannot thank him enough for this!

Ben helped me navigate a divorce awhile back. When my StL family needed a lawyer for wills, etc, he was the first and only person I recommended.

Ben has helped me get my sons out of trouble. First time offenders and he was timely, caring and delivered as promised. Fees were very reasonable and always returned our calls, which is unusual. Highly recommend Ben.

I retained Ben’s legal services for my divorce after spending over $40,000 on legal fees on a previous attorney. I felt so taken advantage of by the law firm that charged me excessive amounts of money and got little to nothing accomplished … More in over a year and a half trying to get divorced. When I retained Aranda law, I immediately felt comfortable dealing with Ben and knew right away he was the man I needed to hire. He is the easiest guy to get a hold of and communicate with and is extremely knowledgeable about family law. I hired Ben for less than a quarter of what I spent on the other law firm and my divorce was finalized within 6 months and he got me the best deal possible. Most attorneys charge for every little thing they can charge for. Emails, phone calls, text messages, etc. Most attorneys spend more time typing up bills for every little minut detail that they can charge for rather than spending time to work on the case. I have found that Ben is very unorthodox when it comes to billing. He works hard and gets what he wants and charges very little for his superior services. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone and everyone. I wish Ben the utmost success with his firm. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.

I hired Mr. Aranda to handle my custody case. He is very knowledgeable, kept me informed, and gave me all possible options regarding my case. I would highly recommend him. I also hired Ben, to handle my traffic ticket. It was taken care … More of with no points deducted.
