The First Step in Domestic Violence Cases
Are you being harassed by your girlfriend or your boyfriend? Have you been accused of committing domestic violence against your husband or wife?
The attorneys of Ross & Schnarrs in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, have extensive experience handling Protection From Abuse orders (PFA), also known as restraining orders or orders of protection. We can assist in obtaining these orders to prevent domestic violence. We can also defend people who may have these orders wrongly used against them.
Defending Against a Restraining Order
When a domestic violence accusation leads to a restraining order, you can lose a lot of things. You can be forced out of your home. You can be required to pay child support. You can lose custody of your child.
While these are not initially criminal matters, they can become criminal matters if a restraining order is violated.
Our lawyers know that this process can be abused and used against the good people, good parents. We will stand up for your rights to prevent a restraining order from changing your life.
Obtaining a Restraining Order
The option of getting a restraining order exists for a reason. Sometimes, people truly need protection from a harassing or abusive spouse or significant other. Sometimes, people truly need help.
Our attorneys can assist with the process of getting an order of protection. Hearings are quick in these matters, and the courts typically want to exercise caution and keep people safe. Still, there is some requirement to prove stalking, domestic abuse or threats of violence.
