Restraining orders happen in a very short time period. Once someone files one, the court MUST have a hearing within two weeks to make a decision on it. If you want to hire a lawyer because you are thinking about filing a restraining order, or because one has been filed against you, please contact me as soon as possible.
A restraining order or injunction can do more than just prevent contact. It may also affect a person's right to have firearms, to be in certain public places, and more. Make sure that you understand all the important details and consequences by talking to a lawyer.
