Restraining orders, orders of protection and injunctions against harassment are all legal ways for a person to avoid contact with someone they feel has been harassing or abusing them in some way. Under a typical restraining order, you may not come within 100 yards of the victim and may not contact them in any manner. When this involves your spouse or family, you may be required to move out of your own house!

After being served a Mesa restraining order, you have the right to request a hearing that will usually be held within 5 to 10 business days, where a judge will review your restraining order. If you work with our firm, our defense lawyers will have a chance to present evidence in your favor. Your order may be lifted entirely at the end of this hearing.

Types of Mesa Restraining Orders

Have you been served a Mesa restraining order? This order may be issued by a court or even a law enforcement agency, depending upon the circumstances.

• A typical restraining order is one which has been served by the court, usually after court proceedings and a judgment. These restraining orders may last years, depending upon the particular situation.
• An emergency restraining order can be issued by a law enforcement agency when the courts are closed, as temporary protection against the alleged abuser.
• A temporary restraining order is usually issued while or before court sessions occur, especially in domestic violence cases, to ensure the victim does not continue to be harassed or abused
