Protection Order Attorney

Filing an ex-parte can be done without an attorney, but it is advisable to get a lawyer because they know the law under the Adult Abuse Act and the Child Protection Act. If the Court holds a hearing on the matter, an attorney should be strongly considered because they know what to prove to succeed and, equally important, the rules of evidence. When people proceed without knowledge of the rules of evidence, it is quite possible evidence that should not be heard will come into evidence because it is not objected to.

The Hammon Law Firm handles dozens of ex-parte's, adult abuse actions, and child protection actions each year. Whether the allegations include child abuse or neglect, verbal assaults, or continuous, harassing phone calls, we can help put a stop to the inappropriate behavior. Conversely, we defend against orders of protection claims by challenging claims that do not have merit.
