Riordan Family Law has a long history of advocating for victims of abuse. Victims of domestic violence, who require the protection of a final restraining order, are well-advised to seek out competent, experienced counsel. The victim, or plaintiff, in a domestic violence matter has the burden to prove to the court, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant has committed an act of domestic violence and that a final restraining order is appropriate. We have obtained final restraining orders for many clients over the years. We have also successfully defended against motions to dismiss restraining orders that were entered years before.
It is also possible, in an appropriate case, to resolve a domestic violence matter, by entering into a consent order for civil restraints in a related matter. The seasoned attorneys at Riordan Family Law can guide you through this process and help you to determine if such an agreement is an adequate solution.
