Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorneys

Southern California Orders of Protection

In a domestic violence situation, the victim can ask a judge for an order of protection if they have been abused or are being threatened with injury or abuse.  An order of protection will have specific orders that the abuser must abide by, or he and she will be subject to immediate arrest by a law enforcement officer.  Domestic violence pertains to any type of physical, emotional or sexual abuse, including: hitting, kicking, choking, hair-pulling, pushing, punching, slapping and holding one down. If you have been served or have violated an order of protection, then consult a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible to determine what can be done.
