Toms River Restraining Order Attorneys

Restraining order hearings can be very complex because it is a summary proceeding. That is, unlike just about any other court case, there is no discovery; no prep time. You show up for trial at the first hearing without knowing what the otherside will say or do. In addition, the law on the issue is also complex as it is not as simple as whether or not an act of domestic violence occurred. Our team of tough, smart attorneys know the law and know how to protect you.
