Civil Orders of Protection (Prosecuting or Defending)

Holistic Representation for All Parties
Civil Orders of Protection are often filed in cases involving allegations of domestic violence, harassment, or immediate threats of harm. If you’re the petitioner (the party seeking the order), we assist with gathering the evidence needed to demonstrate the urgency of your situation, preparing the necessary documents, and representing you at all court proceedings. Our attorneys have deep familiarity with the local courts in Evanston and greater Cook County, which can make a significant difference in building a strong case.

If you’ve been served with a Civil Order of Protection, we’ll thoroughly examine the allegations against you and look for any factual or procedural weaknesses. Our aim is to ensure your rights are protected and that the legal system is applied fairly. We never lose sight of the fact that these matters can significantly impact your personal life, so we handle your defense with discretion and respect.

Criminal Orders of Protection

Strategic Advocacy Amid Criminal Proceedings
A Criminal Order of Protection typically accompanies charges of assault, domestic battery, or stalking.

Our team works tirelessly to coordinate a cohesive legal strategy for both the protective order hearing and the criminal proceedings.
