As an experienced Newport Beach restraining order attorney, I can assist you with unwanted or wanted domestic violence restraining orders.
- Civil Harassment Restraining Orders: An individual can get a civil harassment restraining order if he or she is being stalked, harassed, sexually assaulted or threatened by a neighbor, co-worker or someone else with whom he or she does not have a familial relationship. If you need assistance in filing or challenging a restraining order that does not involve a family member or individual with a close relationship, I can assist you.

- Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Orders: An individual over the age of 65 years or a dependent adult may request the court issue a restraining order against an abuser. These orders may be issued if such individual is abused physically or emotionally, financially abused, abandoned or abducted, deprived by a caregiver of goods or services needed to avoid suffering or harm, neglected, and/or isolated. Like a civil harassment restraining order, orders preventing this type of conduct can be issued for up to three years and an alleged victim may request renewal of said orders at any time before their expiration.
- Workplace Violence Restraining Order: Under California law, an attorney may assist a person’s employer to obtain a restraining order against an abuser. Courts can make orders to protect an employee from suffering unlawful violence or credible threats of violence at the workplace. The court can order a person not to harass or threaten the employee; contact or go near the employee; and prohibit the accused from possessing a firearm. These orders, like all those listed above will be logged in a law enforcement database and enforced by law enforcement agencies.
- Family Law: I have extensive experience guiding my clients through the family law system regarding a variety of legal matters including divorce, custody, child support, and domestic violence and restraining order matters.
- Criminal Defense: When faced with a criminal charge, you need a lawyer who is knowledgeable and will stand up for your rights. I understand how emergency protective orders and criminal protective orders can affect your rights. As a former prosecutor, I understand the tactics that the other side will use, and I know how to build a defense that will likely yield the best results.
