What Is a Domestic Violence Restraining Order?

 A Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) is a court order designed to protect individuals who have experienced abuse or threats of abuse by someone they share a close relationship with, such as:

• A spouse or former spouse.

• A cohabitant or former cohabitant.

• A dating or intimate partner.

• A co-parent.

• A family member, including parents or siblings.


Under California law (Family Code §6200 et seq.), domestic violence includes physical harm, threats, harassment, stalking, or behavior that disturbs a person’s peace.

Requesting a Restraining Order

 If you or your loved ones are in danger, our firm will act quickly to help you file for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), which can potentially provide immediate protection. 

We will:

• Assist in completing and filing the necessary paperwork.

• Gather evidence, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements.

• Advocate for you at the hearing to advocate for a long-term 1-5 DVRO.


DVRO Renewals:

Our firm also assists with renewing permanent 1-5 DVROs that are going to expire.  


Our goal is to provide you with the legal protection you need while prioritizing your safety and peace of mind.

Defending Against a Restraining Order

Being served with a restraining order can have serious consequences, including impacts on your reputation, child custody rights, and ability to own firearms. If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, we can help you:


• Respond to the restraining order with a compelling legal defense.

• Present evidence that refutes the claims against you.

• Advocate for your rights at the hearing to ensure a fair outcome.


We understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to defending your rights and protecting your future.
