Protective Orders

When you or a loved one are facing threats of violence, harassment, or abuse, securing a protective order can be a crucial step to ensure your safety. At the Law Offices of John S. Cossum, we provide compassionate and assertive legal assistance to help individuals seek or defend against protective orders. Whether you're seeking protection or responding to a request, we ensure that your rights are represented and that the process is handled with care and urgency.

01

Defending Against False Accusations

If you’ve been falsely accused of violence or harassment, a protective order can unfairly impact your life and rights. We defend clients against these claims, presenting evidence that counters false allegations and fights to restore your reputation.

02

Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)

In situations requiring immediate action, we assist in obtaining a Temporary Restraining Order that provides short-term protection until a full court hearing can be held. We ensure the necessary steps are taken to protect your safety quickly.

03

Child Protective Orders

When a child is in danger of abuse or harm, we help parents or guardians seek protective orders to shield the child from an abuser. Our team works diligently to prioritize the child’s safety and ensure the appropriate legal protections are in place.

04

Domestic Violence Protective Orders



If you’re facing threats or violence from a family member or intimate partner, we help you obtain a protective order that legally prohibits them from contacting or approaching you. Our team works quickly to ensure your immediate and long-term safety.

05

Stalking and Harassment Cases



If you’re experiencing stalking or persistent harassment, a protective order can help stop unwanted contact. We guide you through the legal process of securing an order that provides you with peace of mind and the protection you deserve.

06

Modification or Termination of Protective Orders

Life circumstances can change, and sometimes a protective order needs to be modified or lifted. We assist in seeking changes to the terms or duration of protective orders, ensuring that they reflect current circumstances fairly.
