When You Need an Experienced Protection Order Lawyer
Protective orders, orders of restraint, or Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) orders are designed to address domestic violence issues and to protect you and your children from abuse. Domestic violence is an unnecessary evil and requires an experienced Portland protection order attorney. The effective use of protection and restraining orders will stop the violence from escalating and prevent harmful and unnecessary contact. Protection orders give the police permission to remove the person from your home and place the offending party in jail for violation of the order.
Protection orders can also be abused and falsely accuse a person of an offense which never occurred and unlawfully remove them from a home or any contact with their children.
