Obtaining A Restraining Order For Critical Protection
Any allegation of family violence, stalking or threats to do harm must be taken seriously. It is nearly impossible to avoid horrific news stories about what happens when domestic abuse is tolerated or goes unreported until a tragedy occurs.
Representing Both Men and Women — With Integrity and Strength
Across the Greater Atlanta and Northern Georgia communities we serve, family violence and domestic abuse are certainly treated seriously by the authorities and courts. It is essential to get legal help quickly, whether:
- You are in physical danger or enduring serious harassment/emotional abuse by a spouse or other household member
- You fear for the safety of your children or others in your home
- You believe you are the victim of false, unfair or exaggerated allegations

- Moving quickly to file for a temporary Family Violence Protective Order (sometimes called a Temporary Protection Order “TPO” or restraining order) to have an abuser removed from the home and legally forbidden access
- Quality, well-prepared representation of women who need extended protection or men being victimized by someone motivated by revenge or seeking leverage in a divorce and/or child custody case
