Obtaining Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence

No one should have to live in a dangerous environment or with the threat of violence. If you or a family member has been the victim of domestic violence or threats from a spouse, former spouse, family member, or person with whom you have a relationship, you can obtain the protection of a restraining order.

Temporary Restraining Order — the first step in the process is to obtain a temporary restraining order. The Law Offices of Irwin D. Tubman, LLC can advise you if necessary, but you can obtain a temporary order of protection almost immediately, by contacting the police and the court.

Permanent Restraining Order — this requires a hearing, usually held about two weeks after the issuance of the temporary order. In this hearing, the subject of the order has the opportunity to respond to the complaint. Our firm can represent you at this hearing to persuade the court to issue the order and ensure that your rights are protected.

Representing the Falsely Accused

In a divorce proceeding or in a contentious child custody battle, a party may make false accusations of domestic violence in order to gain an advantage in the dispute. If you face this situation, it is essential to obtain representation by an experienced domestic violence lawyer. If a permanent order is entered against you, you may lose your child custody or visitation rights, your career may suffer, and you may be socially stigmatized, even if the order is lifted sometime in the future. Our firm will provide you with assertive representation to challenge the proposed permanent order and to protect your rights.
