Protection Orders – Kohn Law Firm

Protection Order

If you find yourself estranged from a family member, roommate, or former spouse, you could end up in a legal battle. These disputes can become costly, affecting your finances, child visitation or custody rights, job security, and even your permanent record. We also specialize in not only obtaining protection orders, but also defending against them.

A restraining order is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly. If you have been served with a restraining order, it could affect your freedom to travel, to own a gun, to see your children, and may have a wider effect on your job and your livelihood.

If you have been charged with violating a restraining order, even if the original allegation was based on falsehoods or exaggerations, you should seek immediate legal counsel to protect yourself from further criminal penalties.

What are the types of Protection Orders?

A protection order (also known as a restraining order) is a legal order issued by a court to protect an individual from harassment, abuse, stalking, or threats. These orders can carry significant legal consequences and may impact your family, employment, and criminal record.

Permanent Protection Order (PPO)

Permanent Protection Order (PPO): Can be issued after a court hearing and may last indefinitely.

Temporary Protection Order (TPO)

Temporary Protection Order (TPO): Typically issued quickly and without the other party present, offering short-term protection.
