If you or someone you care about is living in a dangerous home environment because of an abusive spouse, you should waste no time and speak with a knowledgeable Glen Burnie family law attorney.

Your safety and the well-being of your children could very well depend on you taking the brave step of getting out of the critical situation you've been stuck in.

What Is a Maryland Restraining Order?

In Maryland, a restraining order is also known as a protective order or a peace order. They are court orders that say one person must refrain from committing certain acts against another.

A petition for protection from domestic violence can be filed in any District Court or Circuit Court. An attorney can help file the appropriate documents quickly since these matters can be highly time-sensitive.

What Do You Do if You Have Been Served an Order of Protection?

If you have been served with an order of protection from your spouse or partner, it is equally important to have effective representation, especially if you are going through a divorce. Complaints of domestic violence can weigh heavily on divorce proceedings and negatively impact the outcome of child custody and visitation agreements that must be made.

    “He is very knowledgeable, responsive!”
    I definitely recommend Mr. Hall! He assisted me with a custody case and eliminated all of the stress associated with the paperwork. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and made the process a lot easier to go through. He also reassured me that he would offer other payment options if necessary as everyone knows how costly court can be. My best friend recommended him to me and I would also refer anyone I care about to him.

    “Garland Hall is an excellent lawyer.”
    Garland Hall is an excellent lawyer. He is very intelligent and handles himself in a professional manner. He did not treat me just as a client like most lawyers. He is more like a friend. He seemed very concerned about the issues in my case. He thoroughly explained all of my legal options. Me personally I have hired Garland on two separate occasions. once on a custody manner and once on a BS criminal charge. Pertaining to the custody case I hired him for, Garland was able to get me everything I was asking for even though we were up against tough council. Garland was able to identify every mistake the opposing counsel made. Also Pertaining to my criminal charge garland was able to prove that the opposing counsel was lying and was able to get me out of that bs criminal charge. He is an excellent lawyer and will fight for your rights. Garland is also not expensive compared to many custody attorneys. Most lawyers nickel and dime you to death and charge you for every second they have to see you. Garland Hall does not. He is extremely fair and trustworthy on his fees. I would recommend him to anyone looking for fantastic legal counsel.
