In Maryland, a restraining order is also known as a protective order or a peace order. 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.
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. Whether you are looking to file or defend yourself in matters relating to restraining orders or domestic violence, I am prepared to defend and protect your legal rights and aim to achieve the best outcome possible.
