Getting a Restraining Order in California

The Issuance of Permanent Restraining Orders in San Diego

Helping Clients Gain Protection from Domestic Violence Since 1994

California law allows victims of domestic violence to gain temporary protection through a temporary restraining order through a fairly simple process in which only the victim's testimony is taken into account. In order to gain long-term protection, domestic abuse victims must seek a permanent restraining order.

The successful pursuit of a permanent order for protection can be highly challenging. Why? Because in permanent restraining order hearings the alleged perpetrator has the right to present his or her version of events.

In order to increase your chances of obtaining a permanent restraining order, consider working with a family law lawyer who has over 15 years of experience in family law and who has handled hundreds of domestic abuse cases.

At the law firm of Naimish & Lewis, partners Elizabeth Lewis and Mary Naimish have each practiced family law since 1994 and have each handled numerous temporary and permanent restraining order cases.
