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.

Ben is a amazing person. I met him in a bad point in my life when my original divorce attorney got disbarred. And literally met ben the day of my divorce trial. My divorce still ended up a diaster but I can honestly say it was no fault … More of bens. He actually had my back in several other cases through the next few years and did great and let me make affordable payment plans. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone in need of a great attorney......Thanks Ben

I have had experience with several attorneys that made me think that their inefficiency and lack of motivation was "normal practice"in the field of law. However, I met with Ben for modification of child custody/support. Ben … More was like no other attorney I've ever spoke with and I knew I wanted him to represent me. He kept me updated, answered emails, phone calls and always discussed what the next step would be. I was blessed to have found the very best attorney in St. Louis; Ben Aranda. I refer him to anyone I know. Ben Aranda is "best of the best" of St. Louis attorneys, but his fees are very, very reasonable. If you need an attorney, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Call Aranda Law Firm.
