Types of Temporary Orders for Victims
If you are being abused or harassed, you don't want protection in the future; you need to feel safe right now. A temporary restraining order or an emergency protective order can give you a feeling of safety. In California, if you are being subjected to domestic abuse contact the police immediately to report the crime. They will issue an emergency protective order that will be valid for five days.
If the police cannot help you or if you need a more permanent solution, I can help you file for a restraining order. I have helped countless clients obtain restraining orders for abuses, including:
When filing for a permanent order, the judge can issue a temporary restraining order that will be in effect until the hearing. This temporary order will shelter you from the moment your assailant receives notice of the order until your hearing, which usually occurs two to three weeks later. If your abuser comes in contact with you during this period, the police can arrest him or her. I will represent you and fight for you to get the protection you need to feel secure.
Zealous Defense for Those Accused
Accusations of harassment or domestic violence can have an enormous impact on your life. A temporary restraining order can bar you from entering your own home or seeing your loved ones.
I am John S. Yohanan and I can advise you on your rights and how to avoid violating your restraining order. When it comes time for the hearing, I will aggressively defend your rights and fight to keep you from getting a permanent restraining order on your record.
