Whether you are seeking a Protective or Peace Order for yourself or your loved ones, or are facing a Protective or Peace Order request against you, it is vital that you at least consult with an experienced attorney before taking action or going to Court.  

Protective/peace Order proceedings often involve family members, and litigants sometimes fail to look ahead to the possibly serious implications of such proceedings in  your a divorce or custody case.  Protective and/or Peace orders can greatly affect a disposition in such matters, and often times, clients do not see the negative consequences or seek legal advice until after the damage is done.   

Not only can Protective and /or Peace Order proceedings have serious implications on your related family law case, if one is entered against you, it can affect other important aspects of your life, such as your employment, or security clearance or background checks.  These are serious effects that sometimes go overlooked.
