Civil Harassment Lawyer in Oakland

Protect Yourself with a Restraining Order

Our Oakland-based criminal defense attorney protects clients against potential harassers and provides defense and support if a restraining order has been filed against them. If you attempt to file a restraining order without the proper representation, you run the risk of losing the case or unsuccessfully having your complaint affirmed by the court. When personal safety is at stake, you need to make sure your case is represented strongly. We have over a decade of experience helping clients with all types of civil harassment cases, including those that involve civil harassment restraining orders and restraining order violations.

When Can I File a Restraining Order?

You are able to file a restraining order under three conditions:

• If an individual has inflicted physical bodily harm against you.
• If someone has threatened to inflict harm upon you.
• If you fear for your safety due to a persistent stalker.

If You Think You Are in Trouble, Act Immediately

Waiting to file a restraining order can give your stalker the time to complete a threat or gain confidence to make a frightening move.
