Should You Hire A Fredericksburg Protective Orders Attorney?

Getting a protective order can be an incredibly intimidating process, and taking the first step to ensure the safety of you and your family can be overwhelming. At Strentz Greene & Coleman, we understand that filing for a protective order is a serious matter and we have the experience and care it takes to ensure that your protective order is accepted. 

We’ll start by reviewing the nuances of your case and then file a petition on your behalf. After the petition is filed, the person or persons you're seeking protection from will be served with a copy of that petition. After these two items have been taken care of, we’ll represent you in court and work with the judge to ensure that your protective order is obtained. 

What Kind of Protective Orders Can You Get in Virginia? 

Virginia has several types of protective orders and the best one for you and your family will vary depending on your specific circumstances. 

• Emergency Protective Order: An emergency protective order is a temporary order that can be quickly issued to provide immediate protection. These are common in cases of domestic violence or other high-risk situations and can be used as an ex-parte. This means that to obtain one of these orders, you do not have to be present in court. 
• Preliminary Protective Order: A preliminary protective order is a temporary order that can only be issued after an official hearing has taken place. In order to receive a preliminary protective order you will need to be present in court, but it will grant you full protection until a full hearing on a permanent protective order can be granted. 
• Permanent Protective Order: A permanent protective order offers long-term protection from acts of abuse, harassment, or any other kind of violence. While it’s called a permanent protective order, it can only last up to two years, but it is renewable if necessary. 
• Protective Order for Victims of Sexual Assault: A protective order for victims of sexual assault is avaliable for both adults and minors. 
• Protective Order for Victims of Stalking: A protective order for victims of stalking is also available for adults and minors.
