Greg Hill & Associates understands that a problematic neighbor, co-worker or a domestic violence situation can carry with it emotional and devastating consequences. We appreciate how having either a civil restraining order entered against you on the CLETS system, an Emergency Restraining Order or a Temporary Restraining Order can wreck havoc with your employment status, child custody rights and right to have a firearm.

We believe that no person, such as a jealous ex-girlfriend or boyfriend, should be able to false claims to gain an unfair advantage in a pending divorce or child custody proceeding.

Often times, the underlying motive by the other party is to not only obtain a restraining order or protective order, but to then to fabricate a violation of the order to have our client arrested, jailed and charged with a criminal violation of the order. The other motive may be to spitefully embarrass our client at work by serving him or her there in front of co-workers.

We equally appreciate that if you are the victim of harassing phone calls, spousal abuse, stalking, intimidation or terrorist threats you need to protect yourself from continued or imminent harm. We will help you assemble your medical records, photographs, phone call records, text message, e-mails and letters or whatever is appropriate to help you obtain a court order to stop the threat.

We will help you obtain a restraining order or a reciprocal (or cross) restraining order that a court can issue to be in effect for three to five years and that local law enforcement will be notified of to protect you.

Our Protective Orders/Restraining Order Results

	Greg Hill & Associates Can Help You By
1	Properly investigating the facts surrounding your case. If necessary, this may include by hiring a professional investigator.
2	Researching potential legal defenses.  This evaluation includes a discussion of the immigration consequences of a conviction for the charges alleged.
3	Aggressively negotiating your case if appropriate. Sometimes, however, the only thing a bully understands is a court order, in which case we will not give you the appearance of vulnerability by negotiating.
4	Explore a continuance of the hearing to let the situation “cool down” and to prevent the issuance of an order on the CLETS system that can have collateral effects to one’s job, custody rights and ability to bear arms.
5	Preparing a comprehensive brief of the situation for the judge so that the judge has documents to review that are organized in a way that persuasively tells your story and why a certain outcome in your favor is legally correct.
