Riverside Domestic Violence Lawyer

No one deserves to be abused, harassed, threatened, or assaulted, but unfortunately domestic violence continues to plague countless households throughout Riverside County and Southern California.   An even sadder reality is that the majority of domestic violence victims never speak up about the abuse.  There are a number of reasons why victims choose to stay quiet about the injustice committed against them.  Maybe they feel it would make the situation worse.  Maybe they believe they deserve to be abused, that whatever caused the abuser to get upset was their fault.  Or maybe they truly believe the abuser will change and not do it again.  Whatever the reason, victims of domestic violence are not stepping forward to ask for help, but they should.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, a dedicated and compassionate Riverside family law attorney at Hanson, Hales, Gorian & Bradford can help you put an end to the abuse and harassment you are experiencing.  There is no reason you should continue to be victimized by violence and abuse.  We can help you file for a restraining order that protects you and your loved ones from further harm.

Types of Restraining Orders

Restraining orders were designed to protect victims of domestic violence, stalking, harassment, and other forms of abuse.  There are multiple types of restraining orders, all of which are very effective in preventing the abuser from contacting you or coming within a certain distance.   The main types of restraining orders are:

• Emergency Protective Orders
• Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Orders (TRO or DVRO)
• Criminal Protective Orders
• Civil Harassment Restraining Orders (CHO)
