Los Angeles Domestic Violence Restraining Order

September 15, 2024

It is very important to hire an experienced attorney to handle your domestic violence restraining order as it is an expedited trial in a very short period of time with a lot of testimony, evidence, and witnesses required. A domestic violence restraining order is a very difficult time and requires an exorbitant amount of work on the part of the lawyer. This is why its important to find the right lawyer that also has the time to handle the workload in such a short period of time and can properly prepare and provide your case the time and devotion that it needs.

What is a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO)? A DVRO is a legal order issued by a court to protect individuals from abuse or threats of abuse by a partner, spouse, or family member. Here are key points regarding DVROs:

1. Purpose: The main goal is to provide safety and prevent further abuse. It can prohibit the abuser from contacting or coming near the victim.

2. Eligibility: Typically, individuals who have experienced physical harm, threats, or harassment may qualify for a DVRO. Eligibility may vary by jurisdiction.

3. Filing Process: Victims usually file a petition with the court, which may involve providing evidence of abuse. An ex parte order can sometimes be issued immediately for urgent situations.

4. Court Hearing: A hearing is usually scheduled where both parties can present their sides. The court will then decide whether to grant a long-term restraining order.

5. Duration: DVROs can be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances and the court’s decision.

6. Enforcement: Violating a DVRO can lead to legal consequences, including arrest.

7. Resources: Many areas have support services, legal aid, and shelters for victims of domestic violence. If you need more specific information or assistance regarding DVROs, please contact us.

She handled my complicated, high conflict custody battle like a pro!

I hired Maryam for my very high conflict and complicated custody battle. She took an emotional, dreadful, and exasperating experience, handled it with expertise, professionalism, and calmness that made it possible for me to be calm and believe that everything would work out. Everything did work out, and I’m SO THANKFUL for her. She’s sharp, smart, confident, and a fighter, all while being reasonable and not making a complicated situation worse. I would HIGHLY recommend her. The best experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. Not for one moment did I ever feel like I was just a paycheck to her, and she was worth every penny. Thank you Maryam, you were awesome!

Excellent and Aggressive Attorney!

Maryam was my divorce lawyer a few years ago. She is personable, punctual and got the job done… We got what we wanted in court as she fought hard for me and was aggressive. She filed all the paperwork that needed to be done on time and correctly. She was also very good at moral support in this tough period in my life but that was just a benefit of using her. I have also called her for legal advice a few times since and she always gave me good legal advice.

Attorney with compassion and conviction.

I really am not sure how I found Maryam originally, but I’m so glad that I did. My divorce and custody battle dragged out for over two years, but in the end I have full custody of my children and have been able to move on with my life. Divorce is emotionally difficult, but having Maryam navigate the legal waters made the whole situation easier. I highly recommend her if you need an attorney who will help you work through your family law matters with compassion and conviction.

I have had a few lawyers in the past 12 years and honestly lost faith in them until I met Maryam. She is absolutely AMAZING! She treats you like your family and makes sure she listens and answers all questions.  Her number one concern is what’s the best decision to be made during some hard times for families. Maryam is respectful of your feelings and helps you make the correct decision for you and your family.  I wish I would have found her years ago! This would have saved me lots grief and money.  She doesn’t want to take advantage of her clients by dragging things out, she gets the job done right and quick. I totally recommend her services to everyone and trust her to fight for my family always! Thank you Maryam for being honest, reliable, and taking care of my family!

A Guardian Angel

There has been no question. My child custody case has been the most trying, exhaustive and draining experience of my life. Apart from the light of my child, there has really been only one other bright spot to the whole experience. Maryam. I never (ever!) expected such compassion in hired legal counsel. Alternately, she has never sugar coated the situation and has been my leader, inspiration and true guide on a very complex and time consuming journey. She has put me to work, and the work has been hard. But her very matter-of-fact approach to why, and her ability to set the example and pace by working so incredibly hard herself, kept me going. As hard as this has all been, I can’t imagine how devastating it would have all felt without this very rare and special person making me feel like they are in my corner from a very genuine place. Words escape me to properly express my gratitude for the fact that lawyers like this really are out there, while rare to find. She’s never cut corners with her efforts and never lost patience with me during a very scattered and overwhelming time in my life. She has gone above and beyond for me, to the point of pleasant surprise which is something I so desperately needed going through this! We had a long, extensive child custody trial and she worked brilliantly both in and out of court to reach an outcome in our favor. Again, I’m at a loss to express my gratitude for her world class efforts so instead, I’ll recommend her from the most honest place in my heart.
