Also referred to as restraining orders, these proceedings typically arise in connection with domestic violence incidents. Proceedings can result in orders that require the aggressor to stay away from the victim and their immediate family members for up to year. These proceedings are particularly serious when the custody of a minor child is involved or when you live with the aggressor.  Having a knowledgeably attorney can help you navigate the legal system during this difficult and troubling time.  The Law Firm of Alexander K. Anderson is committed to working with you to obtain the assurance you need to feel safe again.
