Pondeva & Sohrab, APC. advocates for Glendale residents trapped in dangerous situations who have filed restraining orders, or seek to file them. In California, restraining orders are designed to prevent a specified person, referred to as the “protected party,” from receiving harassment or abuse from the specified person, known as the “restrained person.” California Law recognizes four protective orders, which include: domestic violence, elder abuse, civil harassment, and workplace violence.
Once a restraining order is issued, a court will order a restrained party to refrain from doing any acts described in the order. These acts can include a “stay away” order to dictate a distance that must be maintained between the protected and restrained parties. Or a “move out” order, which is commonly used in domestic situations where an abusive spouse or partner is removed permanently from the home.
If you or someone you know in Glendale is in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, the law offices of Pondeva & Sohrab, APC. can help you navigate the restraining order process and utilize the criminal justice system to protect you from potentially dangerous situations. Our Glendale divorce lawyers are also ready to help clients bring a legal end to their marriages and rebuild their lives.
