Defending Clients Against Restraining Orders
If someone is threatening to take out a restraining order against you or a domestic violence situation has resulted in the potential for a restraining order being issued, it is important that you seek legal counsel who can defend you against the restraining order.
At the Law Office of Philip L. Arnel, clients are provided with representation in criminal proceedings involving restraining orders and also on the civil side. Contesting civil restraining orders on behalf of clients is a part of Mr. Arnel's routine practice. He is fluent in the language of the civil code that dictates the issuance of a restraining order and can explain how it is possible to fight the restraining order on your behalf.

After an individual files a complaint, a temporary restraining order will be issued for 10 days. Once those 10 days are up, the parties return to court in order for the judge to make a determination on whether or not an extension of the restraining order or order of protection should be ordered. It is at the 10-day hearing that you need aggressive defense counsel.
Attorney Philip L. Arnel has extensive experience defending individuals against the extension of any temporary restraining orders. He is committed to helping clients structure their defense in order to show the judge that either false claims precipitated the issuance of the previous order or that it was issued in response to a situation that no longer exists. Regardless of the reason for the initial restraining order, he will stand up for your rights in civil court to prevent the extension of the damaging order whenever possible.
