Orders of Protection

Orders of protection, commonly known as “restraining orders”, are intended to protect victims of abuse, stalking, or harassment by requiring perpetrators to stay a certain distance away for a specified period of time. Such orders are primarily used by victims of domestic violence, however, are also used in a variety of other circumstances, including in relation to a child. These processes often carry very serious consequences. The extremely complex nature of these cases bring with them a variety of questions including:

What constitutes stalking?
How long do I have to wait before filing an order of protection?
What should I do if someone has alleged I have done something to them or their child?
How can I alert the proper authorities of a case of neglect/abuse to my child?
How long does an order of protection take effect?
What happens if the violator breaks the rules of an order of protection?

If you have an order of protection case, it is not a process that you should navigate on your own. It is essential that you contact the Aranda Law Firm at the very earliest stages of this process so that we can provide you with the knowledge needed to end the process as soon as possible.

My experience with Ben Aranda far exceeded what I could have expected. I came to Ben fighting an uphill battle that had no end in sight.Although I was a train wreck with mostly negative thoughts about how I feared the outcome would be for … More my case, Ben was positive, enthusiastic, and always made me feel better. And then he worked miracles for me. My previous attorney dropped my case as it seemed a no win situation for the six months they represented me. Ben began turning things around in his first three weeks of representing me. Not only did he fight me out of the hole I was in but also leveled the playing field and in the end, I won. I got more than I ever expected.Ben Aranda is an amazing attorney and a great guy. I will forever be grateful and recommend him.

My case was complicated and very unusual. Actually, I was afraid I would not be able to find anyone to take my case. I met with Ben and he accepted my case with confidence which was quite comforting. He took immediate action to have an … More unjustified withholding temporarily stopped. The final judgement was exactly what I had hoped for and I even had money returned to me by the state. Ben's billing was accurate and not exaggerated. I will recommend everyone I can to The Aranda Law Firm! It was much better in many ways than the highly advertised, local family law firm I previously retained!! Go Ben!!

I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, you want Ben Aranda.Why do I say that?* He returned phone calls and emails (yes, really!).* He listened attentively until he knew what was important – and he efficiently culled the rest so … More I didn’t pay for wasted time.* He is brilliant – incredible with strategy, case law, and writing arguments if you ask me. Even when I was most frightened (and lawsuits ARE scary), he inspired confidence that I was in the best possible hands.* He’s direct, realistic, and meticulous – and he has a remarkable memory.* He kept me informed and focused throughout the process.* His prices are more than fair.* And oh-by-the-way: He’s a nice guy.Like I say, I hope you don’t ever need him, but if you do: Get first dibs.You don’t want him at the other team’s table.

I, too, hired Mr. Aranda after my previous attorney failed to adequately advocate for me in my divorce. Immediately, Ben put me at ease and let me know there was no need to worry about the "malicious tactics" of the opposing counsel … More (and my soon to be ex-wife). Divorce is hard enough, and I'm so thankful to have Ben representing me so I can be a responsible father and get on with my life. Ben keeps it real, and he fights hard for his clients. He deserves to be recognized with the highest jurisprudence commendation for his diligence. If you are in need of a superb divorce lawyer, he's your guy! God bless you Mr. Aranda!
