St. Louis, Missouri Attorney Handling Orders of Protection
The definitions of domestic violence and spousal abuse include more than just physical acts of violence. Stalking and harassment count. Verbal threats count. Damage to property, emotional cruelty and violence against pets can count too.
At The Marks Law Firm, L.L.C., we help victims of domestic violence and abuse obtain temporary and permanent restraining orders against their abusers. We can obtain initial, temporary protective orders (ex parte orders) almost immediately (without notice to your abuser). Later, we can provide the effective legal representation you need to prove your allegations and make the order permanent.
Ultimately, a protection order is only a piece of paper. It can't protect you by itself. You have to take steps to protect yourself. If you are in a non-emergency situation, call our law offices at 314-993-6300 to schedule an initial consultation or, send us an e-mail and a lawyer from our office will call or send you a response as soon as possible.
When Protection Orders Are Used as a Weapon
More and more, people are using allegations of domestic violence and ex parte protection orders as a tool to gain an unfair advantage in divorce and child custody disputes. Unfortunately, this kind of underhanded behavior often works.
Because of that, it is very important that you contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible if your spouse threatens to accuse you of domestic abuse or a temporary restraining order is obtained against you.
