Forbidden to See Your Family
Restraining orders are very serious. In Oregon, when someone is granted a restraining order against you, you could be forced out of your shared residence, lose the right to see your kids or wife, and perhaps be forbidden from even talking to them on the phone. If you are facing the possibility of a restraining order, you need an experienced lawyer to mount your defense.

I know that there are ways for us to fight the restraining order so that you don't lose your right to have contact with your loved ones. My law firm provides client-centered service and creative solutions for your criminal defense needs.
High Standard for Restraining Orders and Stalking Protection Orders
Many people have a mistaken notion about restraining orders. The important thing to know is that there is a high standard for granting a restraining order. Just because someone you have a relationship with is upset does not guarantee a restraining order.
Restraining Orders
Restraining orders involve spouses, family, or people in a romantic relationship. Before the Oregon Courts grant someone a restraining order, the requesting party needs to establish that something has put them in fear for their physical well-being. Usually this involves a history of domestic violence or a physical threat, something that puts the requesting party in fear of imminent physical abuse.
Stalking Protection Orders
While restraining orders involve people in an intimate or familial relationship, stalking protection orders involve strangers. If you have been accused of stalking, I have the experience to help defend you from these charges.
