With decades of experience in family law and domestic violence cases, attorneys will help you through the process of obtaining a restraining order and represent you every step of the way.
Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)
Just as the name implies, Temporary Restraining Orders are temporary, a final hearing is scheduled in 7 to 10 days after. For a TRO, a judge will schedule a brief hearing with you once your request for a restraining order is filed. During the hearing, the judge will interview you and listen to your case and typically they will then issue the TRO, ordering the abuser to keep away from you.

Final Restraining Orders (FROs)
