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.

Mr. Aranda is an outstanding attorney and a really great human being. If you are looking for someone to represent you that is true to their word, actually cares about you and your situation, and will FIGHT FOR YOU, Aranda Law is the right … More place for you! Mr. Aranda took my case when no one else would, helped me retrieve extremely valuable property that had been seized, and then stood by me to go after money I was owed, even though he knew it would be a very tough fight. I would not hesitate to recommend Aranda Law Firm to anyone who needs not only legal help, but needs to feel heard and understood as well.

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 have had experience with several attorneys that made me think that their inefficiency and lack of motivation was "normal practice"in the field of law. However, I met with Ben for modification of child custody/support. Ben … More was like no other attorney I've ever spoke with and I knew I wanted him to represent me. He kept me updated, answered emails, phone calls and always discussed what the next step would be. I was blessed to have found the very best attorney in St. Louis; Ben Aranda. I refer him to anyone I know. Ben Aranda is "best of the best" of St. Louis attorneys, but his fees are very, very reasonable. If you need an attorney, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Call Aranda Law Firm.
