In Passaic County and Hudson County the Artusa Law Firm has helped many in need of a restraining order due to the fear of harm for either themselves or even their children.  Unfortunately these matters arise and must be taken extremely serious as a number of issues must be overcome.

What exactly is a restraining order and how can the Artusa Law Firm assist me?

A restraining order or protective order is an order used by a court to protect a person, business, company, establishment, or entity, and the general public, in a situation involving alleged domestic violence, assault, harassment, stalking, or sexual assault. In the United States, every state has some form of domestic violence restraining order law, and many states also have specific restraining order laws for stalking and sexual assault.

Restraining and personal protection order laws vary from one jurisdiction to another but all establish who can file for an order, what protection or relief a person can get from such an order, and how the order will be enforced. The court will order the adverse party to refrain from certain actions or require compliance with certain provisions. Failure to comply is a violation of the order which can result in the arrest and prosecution of the offender.

Although restraining orders can be an incredibly difficult and confusing, The Artusa Law Firm will provide the guidance and assurance an individual needs at times like these.
