Obtaining a Protective Order in Phoenix, AZ, and the Surrounding Areas

Using your legal rights to ensure your safety.

Protective orders, often referred to as “restraining orders,” are legally enforceable court orders used to protect victims of domestic violence or prevent harassment. In Arizona, when there is a domestic relationship between the parties and a history or threat of violence, a court may issue an “order of protection” to prevent future harmful acts.

If no domestic relationship exists but there is a history or threat of harassment, the court may issue an injunction against harassment. A protective order can prohibit the defendant from any form of contact with the plaintiff, and violations may lead to arrest.

Whether you are seeking a protective order against a spouse, a restraining order against a neighbor, or defending yourself in a related case, a restraining order attorney at Huffman-Shayeb Law, PLLC can guide and represent you throughout the process.
