Obtaining a Protective Order

Our firm can help you obtain a temporary protective order (ex parte order) and seek to obtain a final order which lasts one year and can be renewed from that time on.

At the hearing for the temporary order, we can seek to have very specific conditions placed on the subject of the order — including his or her removal from your house, and the retention of vehicles and property as well as temporary child custody and support orders.

Within two weeks of the issuance of the temporary protective order, a hearing for the final or permanent order will be held. It is essential that you have capable legal representation at this hearing. Christopher Johnson can present evidence at this hearing to support your case and attempt to make the temporary custody and support orders permanent.

Defending Your Rights

If a protective order is issued against you, your life can change in many ways. You will almost certainly be kicked out of your home. You may lose your child custody and visitation rights. You will probably lose your right to possess a firearm. If it is at all possible, you should utilize the services of an attorney to try to avoid having a protective order issued against you.

Attorney Christopher Johnson will provide you with strong and assertive representation to protect your rights. He will use the hearing to present evidence in your favor, and cross-examine witnesses when it can help your case. If it is not possible to prevent the issuance of the protective order, Mr. Johnson will do everything in his power to limit the terms of the order.
