At James Law Group, we understand that situations involving Orders of Protection are sensitive and often urgent. An Order of Protection, also known as a restraining order, is a legal document issued by the court to protect individuals from threats or acts of violence. Whether you’re seeking protection or responding to an order filed against you, we are here to help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights.
Three Types of Order of Protection
- Emergency Orders of Protection: Issued when immediate protection is needed, typically granted quickly and without the respondent’s presence in court.
- Temporary Orders of Protection: Extends the protection provided by an emergency order until a full court hearing can be conducted.
- Final Orders of Protection: Issued after a full court hearing where both parties present their case. This order can last for a specific period or be permanent, depending on the circumstances and the judge’s decision.
