Order of Protection

Protecting Your Rights and Safety

At James Law Group, we understand that situations involving Orders of Protection are sensitive and often urgent. An Order of Protection, also known as a restraining order, is a legal document issued by the court to protect individuals from threats or acts of violence. Whether you’re seeking protection or responding to an order filed against you, we are here to help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. We represent both petitioners (those seeking protection) and respondents (those against whom an order is filed).

Our experienced attorneys can assist you in:

Filing for an Order of Protection
Responding to an Order of Protection filed against you
Modifying or extending existing orders
Representing you in court hearings
Ensuring compliance with order terms

Types of Orders of Protection:

Ex-Parte Orders of Protection: Issued when immediate protection is needed, typically granted quickly and without the respondent’s presence in court.
Full Orders of Protection: Issued after a full court hearing where both parties present their case. This order can last 1 year in Missouri and can be renewed an additional year for a total of up to two years.

Extensive Experience: Our attorneys have a wealth of experience in both seeking and defending against orders of protection.

Comprehensive Knowledge: Our team stays up-to-date with the latest laws and regulations regarding orders of protection, ensuring you receive the most current and effective legal advice.

Balanced Representation: We have successfully represented both petitioners and respondents, giving us a unique perspective on these cases.

Compassionate Approach: We understand the emotional toll that these situations can take. Our team is committed to providing compassionate and respectful support throughout the legal process.
