What happens after you reach out
- We run a quick conflict check. Because we represent people on both sides of restraining order cases (in separate matters), we confirm we can ethically represent you before we discuss anything. It takes minutes and protects your interests.
- We call you back — 24/7, often within the hour. You speak with an attorney or a senior member of our team, not a call center.
- Your free consultation. We review the order or your situation, your hearing date, your realistic options, and exactly what representation would cost. No pressure, no obligation.
Whatever side you’re on, we’re ready
If you were served. Being served is frightening, and the accusations may feel untrue or exaggerated. Nothing is decided yet — your case is decided at a hearing, and what you do before then shapes the outcome. Most respondents have more defense than they realize. → What to do if you were just served · Fight a Restraining Order
If you’re seeking protection. If you’re in danger, California law is built to protect you quickly — but it asks for proof, presented correctly. We help you get emergency and temporary orders, assemble admissible evidence, and carry your case through the hearing. → How to Get a Restraining Order · Emergency Help 24/7
What to have ready (it helps — but call first if your hearing is close)
- The court paperwork you were served with, or the documents you’ve filed.
- Your hearing date, if one is set.
- The names of everyone involved and how you’re related.
- A rough timeline and any evidence — texts, emails, photos, police or medical reports. Have it ready to discuss, but don’t send it until we confirm we can represent you.
Free, confidential, no obligation
Your consultation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We treat every conversation as confidential. We ask for the other party’s name only to clear conflicts — a requirement for any firm that represents both petitioners and respondents — and we explain exactly how representation and fees would work before you decide anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is the consultation really free? Yes. The initial consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation. If we agree to work together, we’ll explain fees clearly and in writing before you commit to anything.
Do you really represent both sides of restraining order cases? Yes. We represent both petitioners (people seeking protection) and respondents (people defending against an order) — in separate cases. That’s why we run a quick conflict check before your consultation: we cannot represent you if we already represent or have consulted the other party.
What if my hearing is in a few days? Call now at (888) 808-2179 and tell us the date. Restraining order hearings are usually set within about three weeks of filing, and what you do beforehand matters. We prioritize imminent hearings and take emergency and after-hours calls.
Is my information confidential? We treat your inquiry as confidential. For your safety, contact us from a device the other party can’t access, and avoid a shared email account. Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Will contacting you create an attorney-client relationship? No. Reaching out — by form, call, or text — does not by itself make us your lawyers. An attorney-client relationship begins only when we both agree to it in a written agreement. Until then, please don’t send confidential details.
Do I talk to an actual attorney? You’ll speak with an attorney or a senior member of our team, 24/7 — not an outsourced call center.
What areas do you serve? We handle restraining order matters across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties, with phone and video consultations available throughout California.
