If a judge issues a restraining order (also called a protective order) against you, it can significantly impact your life. A restraining order can restrict your access to your home, family members, and other essential aspects of your life. Also, when someone seeks a protective order against you, it could seriously impact your constitutional rights. For example, you might need to relinquish all your weapons. You may also lose contact with your children and spouse, be prevented from visiting particular places, and have to move from your home.

Protective orders are relatively prevalent. However, dealing with one once it is issued can be challenging. Often, courts side with victims to stop further stalking, violence, harassment, and other kinds of abuse. This could be detrimental to people who have fallen victim to exaggerated or false accusations. Moreover, you can face criminal prosecution if accused of violating a protective order once it is issued. If someone has filed a restraining order against you, you want to hire an attorney quickly.

What Is A Restraining Order?

A restraining order, also called a protective order, is a court-issued order. Most protective orders are civil, but a judge can also issue a criminal restraining order. A protective order binds the person against whom it is issued, called the respondent, defendant, or restrained party, from particular activities or actions. These restrictions intend to safeguard the person who requested the order from violence, harassment, and other risky conduct by the restrained

A civil harassment restraining order (CHRO) refers to a court-issued order specifically meant to safeguard a person from stalking, physical abuse, violence, threat of violence, or harassment by the party mentioned therein. Also called a CHPO (civil harassment protective order), a CHRO outlines the prohibited and permitted conduct and instructs the restrained party to avoid contacting the protected party. As California family law describes, courts issue these restraining orders to people, not the victim’s close family members.

The requirements to contest or obtain a CHRO are strict, and the documentation is intricate. Whether you wish to challenge or apply for CHRO anywhere in California, our expert attorneys will present a rigorous defense in court and ensure your rights are protected.

California criminal laws protect violence victims in several ways. Issuance of a restraining order is among these ways. A criminal restraining order safeguards an abuse or violence victim by limiting their contact with the abuser. If someone exhibits violent conduct towards you, you want to obtain a protective order to safeguard yourself.

We at Goldenman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm can help you through the restraining order application process, presenting compelling evidence to maximize the chances of approval.

On the other hand, a defendant can sometimes not be guilty of the accusations a supposed victim made against them. For example, the alleged victim may have made false accusations of domestic abuse against the defendant. In this case, the accused person will require a restraining order lawyer to fight for them during the hearing. We are also equal to the task as far as defending against protective orders is concerned. We represent defendants and petitioners based on the case facts.

Domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) are one of the most prevalently sought and issued types of protective orders in California. Someone in an abusive cohabitation relationship or marriage can seek a DVRO. Alternatively, it can be sought by someone seeking protection from another close family member, like a parent, sibling, child, in-laws, or grandparents.

A person can apply for a DVRO if an intimate partner or close family member has threatened them with bodily harm or if they have suffered actual harassment or harmful conduct. When petitioning for a DVRO, you must state the conduct or abuse that makes you request protection. On the other hand, when defending against a DVRO, you must seek to present evidence contradicting the supposed victim's accusations of threats, violence, or harm.

At Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm, we can help you with either case, whether you are petitioning for or defending against a DVRO. Our lawyers are well-versed in California restraining order laws and can handle DVRO matters efficiently. Do not hesitate to call us at 213-341-4087.

Many cases of dating violence go unreported, even though California law advises couples to seek help when they face abuse from their partners. Dating violence falls under domestic violence and is common in California. It happens when one of the people in an intimate relationship acts abusively towards the other. Individuals who face abuse from their partner are entitled to file a restraining order so the abuser’s conduct can be restrained.

Before filing a restraining order against your boyfriend or girlfriend, you must first understand California law on dating violence restraining orders. This law can vary across states; hence, you need a lawyer to give insight into it and represent you in court.

At Goldman Flores Restraining Attorney Law Firm, we are experienced in dating violence restraining order matters. Thus, you should be confident when you entrust your case to us. Our lawyers are experienced and discreet. You can rest assured of expert legal service alongside the necessary privacy to assist you in navigating this sensitive issue. Call us at 213-341-4087 for a consultation.

Abuse of the elderly or dependent adults can take many forms. This includes emotional, mental, sexual, and physical abuse or neglect, and deprivation of goods and services by their caregiver. An elder is someone aged sixty-five years or more. On the other hand, a dependent adult is a person above 18 years old who cannot protect their interests or sufficiently meet their essential needs because of a mental or physical condition.

Vulnerable seniors and dependent adults deserve to be protected from harm and harassment, and a protective order is among the most effective tools to do so. At Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm, we assist seniors, dependent adults, and their families in enforcing these restraining orders when necessary. Our lawyers are conversant in laws regarding elder abuse. They have successfully solved cases that involve abuse by caregivers, family members, and strangers.

We understand that elder abuse protective orders necessitate a delicate approach, and we are experienced in addressing the intricacies involved. We take our time to collect the required evidence, such as financial documents, witness statements, and medical records, to develop a solid case for the elderly protection. Also, if you have been informed of a protective order being filed against you, you can turn to us for help mounting a strong defense strategy in your favor.

A workplace violence restraining order protects employees subject to violence or credible threats of violence at their workplace. Among other things, the order orders the abuser not to harass or threaten the victim, to avoid going near them, and to surrender all the weapons they possess.

A workplace violence restraining order is acquired by an employer on the affected employee’s behalf. Likewise, private college representatives may request school violence-related protective orders to safeguard students. The police enforce the order, which can last up to five years.

When an employee or student has faced abuse, harm, or harassment, we are ready to assist schools and employers in navigating the process of having essential protections enforced. On the contrary, exaggerated claims or allegations can lead to unfair restrictions against an accused person. We can assist in straightening out misunderstandings and help defendants fight protective orders of this kind.

At the Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm, we fight for respondents and petitioners throughout California. Our skilled lawyers can help you file and respond to the order requests, develop safety strategies, and navigate court hearings with minimal risks. Please call us as soon as you have a case.

Gun violence restraining orders (GVROs) are specific to limiting the ability of people who pose a threat to themselves or other people to access firearms. The order restricts such people from possessing or purchasing ammunition and firearms. GVROs are critical in minimizing the likelihood of self-harm and gun violence by temporarily stripping firearms from the restrained person’s possession.

If you fear the worst from a gun owner in your life, you can turn to us for assistance in obtaining restrictions imposed that may save lives. Similarly, if you are a defendant of GVRO, we can assist you in fighting unreasonable or unfair court orders that require you to surrender your firearms.

Our lawyers handle GVRO cases with precision and care. If you wish to obtain a GVRO, they will help you navigate the legal process while defending your rights and providing a clear, comprehensive means to safety. On the other hand, as far as fighting against a GVRO is concerned, they will prepare a compelling defense, ensuring we present all the relevant facts before the court and that the authorities uphold your rights.

Have you been accused of violating a restraining order? Do not panic. We at Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm can help. When facing restraining order violation charges, the lawyer you have fighting for you can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Client Testimonials

I worked with Ms. Goldman’s law firm on a DVRO petition. Her staff was very empathetic and helpful during the challenging and traumatic moment. The attorneys at this law firm have in-depth knowledge about California domestic abuse laws. They highly supported me during the paperwork filing, court hearing, and after the case, when I had follow-up questions. My assigned lawyer listened to my concerns attentively. They counselled me on the legal options to make informed decisions and centered on safeguarding me in ways I had not considered. I am so grateful for the kindness and expertise I was accorded.

I hired Ms. Goldman for a temporary restraining order case. From the first day, my lawyer knew what she was doing; her work was impressive. Attorney Goldman was well prepared when she represented me at the court hearing. She did a fantastic job with my declaration and evidence preparation. And when she cross-examined the respondent, her questions were short, though impactful. Attorney Goldman’s preparation and cross-examination were so thorough that my testimony became unnecessary; she did an incredible job discrediting the respondent. Jennifer defended my rights so well that even the judge ruled in my favor without my testimony. I would strongly recommend Ms. Goldman to anyone with a restraining order case. She would win.

I violated a protective order and faced misdemeanor charges. I was so worried about having to live with the adverse effects of a criminal conviction. This would have meant jail time, probation, or court fines. Thankfully, I retained the Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm, and this is the best decision I have ever made. Lawyers here, led by Attorney Goldman, are professional. They do not sugarcoat details or tell you what you want to hear. They are direct, highly responsive, and incredibly respectful. My lawyer managed to secure a plea bargain for me, and at the end of it all, I only paid a little fine. This is my go-to law firm.

Goldman Flores Restraining Order Law Firm did very well in helping me through an overwhelming and stressful period in my life. The person I considered a friend filed a TRO against me after trying to assault me. Fortunately for me, through the incredible job of the lawyers at this law firm, the judge denied the TRO petition.
