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.

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!!
