Restraining Orders

San Jose Domestic Violence Restraining Order Lawyer  

Protection from Abuse: Restraining Orders

Domestic violence is all too common, and victims of abuse have strong protection under the law. If you have been abused, battered, threatened, or otherwise affected by domestic violence, you have the right to protection under a restraining order, also called a protection order. This court-issued decree orders your abuser out of your home and away from you and your children.

At the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C., we represent victims of domestic abuse and alleged abusers in matters related to obtaining or fighting restraining orders. Since a false allegation of abuse or a domestic violence conviction can have severe consequences on your parental rights to custody, visitation, and child and spousal support, you need to talk with an experienced lawyer.

For information from an experienced San Jose domestic violence attorney about restraining orders or the defense against them, contact the Santa Clara Law Office of Daniel Jensen at (408) 556-9276 or (866) 491-1667. We represent clients throughout the Silicon Valley.

Advocates for Victims of Abuse and Domestic Violence

Our San Jose, California, family violence lawyers will petition the court on your behalf to obtain a restraining order to legally protect you from violence or abuse. We can help you obtain a temporary restraining order to give immediate protection and safety, as well as help you secure a longer term or permanent protection order. A protection or restraining order can be extended for three years or more when needed and depending on the severity of your case.

If you fear for your or your children's safety, we can help you get immediate protection from your abuser. If your abuser violates the restraining order, he or she can be held criminally responsible. With the help of a protection order and police enforcement, you can be protected.

Fighting for Your Rights Against Wrongfully Obtained Protection Orders

Fighting a restraining order may be appropriate in many cases. There may have been a misunderstanding or you may have acted out of character. Your spouse or significant other may be acting vengefully in anticipation of an upcoming divorce or custody battle. Our attorneys will aggressively protect your personal and parental rights if you are facing an inappropriate restraining order or an unsubstantiated, mean-spirited protection order.
