Obtaining a Restraining Order in San Diego

Restraining Orders in California

Three Decades of Combined Family Law Experience in San Diego

When you need protection from a dangerous spouse, former spouse, partner, cohabitant or other person, who has the experience to quickly petition for a temporary restraining order that will immediately bar contact between you and the threatening party? When you or a loved one face long-term danger from another, who can work to obtain a permanent restraining order that can provide protection for five years or more?

The lawyers of the family law firm of Naimish & Lewis have successfully helped clients for hundreds facing domestic violence or the threat of domestic violence with obtaining a restraining order in San Diego. We can advocate skillfully for your right to protection under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act by pursuing a:

• Temporary restraining order. Temporary restraining orders are generally granted on the basis of the testimony of one party (the alleged victim) and are in effect until the hearing for the permanent restraining order (usually about 25 days).
• Permanent restraining order. Permanent restraining orders are granted in hearings that can involve the testimony of both parties (the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator).

We can complete your request for a temporary restraining order and, in permanent restraining order cases, conduct an investigation, which can involve:

• Determining witnesses and obtaining testimony and statements
• Obtaining police reports
• Interviewing neighbors, children and other people with first-hand knowledge of events
• Obtaining doctors' reports
