Dedicated to Defending People Served With Restraining Orders
Being served with a restraining order can turn your life upside down almost overnight. You may be ordered to stay away from your home, your children, or people you care about. You may have to surrender your firearms. And if the order is granted, it can show up on background checks and follow you into future jobs, housing applications, and custody matters.
Our firm exists for one purpose: defending people who have been served with a restraining order in California. Since 2019, we have stood beside respondents across Southern California, helping them understand the accusations against them, prepare their defense, and fight for their rights at the hearing.
Why Restraining Order Defense Requires Fast Action
In California, restraining order hearings are typically set just 21 to 25 days after the request is filed. That leaves very little time to gather evidence, find witnesses, and respond to the allegations. Many people make the mistake of assuming they can simply explain their side to the judge. In reality, these hearings follow legal rules and evidentiary standards, and a well-prepared defense can make all the difference.
When you contact us, we move quickly. Someone from our office will get back to you within 24 hours so we can start building your defense right away.
A Team With Deep Courtroom Experience
Our attorneys bring more than 55 years of combined legal experience to every case. Our team's background includes criminal defense, DUI defense, and litigation in both state and federal courts. That breadth matters, because restraining order allegations often overlap with criminal investigations, family law disputes, and workplace issues. We look at the full picture and make sure your defense in one matter doesn't hurt you in another.
How We Defend Our Clients
We make the process understandable. Most people have never been through a restraining order hearing, and the paperwork and legal terms can be overwhelming. We explain what you're facing and what your options are in plain language.
We build a defense around your situation. Every case is different. We take the time to learn the facts, review the allegations and evidence, and develop a strategy tailored to your goals.
We prepare thoroughly. From gathering documents, messages, and other evidence to preparing witnesses and your own testimony, we work to put you in the strongest possible position before you walk into court.
We advocate aggressively. At the hearing, we challenge weak or exaggerated claims and present your side clearly and effectively.
Why You May Have Received a Letter From Us
Some people first hear about a restraining order through a letter from our office. We review public Superior Court records, and when we see that a restraining order may have been filed against someone, we send a letter so they can look into it right away. In some cases, the person named may simply share a similar name with you. We encourage you to review the case details on the county's Superior Court website or contact our office. We'll help you figure out whether the case involves you and what to do next.
