Pitfalls of Do-it-yourself Restraining Orders

Why use a lawyer to get a restraining order?

There are dangerous pitfalls to a do-it-yourself restraining order. If you or your child needs protection from domestic violence you cannot afford to make a mistake. You need to ask the court for an emergency protective order or temporary restraining order that offers the necessary protection for the appropriate length of time. You need a restraining order that the court will enforce. You need to know the answers to your questions now and may not have time to do research on your legal options.
