La Mesa Restraining Order Lawyer
Protective Orders in La Mesa & San Diego, California
In California, restraining orders are issued by the court to protect people from physical, sexual, and psychological violence or harassment. I’ve been working as a family law attorney since 1992, and I have seen how stalking, abuse, and threats of violence can instill intense fear in both men and women.
Please contact my office if you feel threatened by someone in your life and want to pursue legal protection. I understand how complex and sensitive these situations can be, and I want you to feel safe coming to me for legal advice and representation. As a mother of two, I am fully committed to helping my clients secure protection for themselves and their children.
I offer free consultations. Please contact me at (619) 304-8499 to explore your legal options and discover how you can protect yourself and your family.
How a Restraining Order Can Protect You
When your request for a restraining order is granted by the court, you are legally considered a “protected person.” The person you desire protection from is called a “restrained person.” If the restrained person violates the court order, he or she may face significant legal consequences including costly fines and jail time.
A restraining order can include:
- Personal conduct orders
- These orders prevent the restrained person from contacting, threatening, stalking, and physically or sexually assaulting the protected person. The restrained person is also not allowed to deface or destroy any property belonging to the protected person.
- Stay-away orders
- These orders ensure that the restricted person is forced to keep 50 or 100 yards away from the protected person’s residence and place of employment. These orders can also extend to a child’s school or child care location.
- Residence exclusion orders
- These orders can only be requested in domestic violence and dependent adult abuse cases. Per the restraining order, the restrained person is legally required to move out of the protected person’s residence.
