A restraining order is a legal order that compels an individual to do, or not do, certain things in the interest of protecting a victim. They are most often instituted in battered spouse or domestic violence situations.
In New Jersey, a temporary restraining order remains in effect until a follow-up court date, where the judge has the power to lift the restraining order or to make it permanent by converting it into a final restraining order.
How Attorney Jeffrey W. Goldblatt Fights for You
Mr. Goldblatt's background in criminal defense and prosecution allows him to persuasively represent both plaintiffs and defendants in restraining order cases. Depending on your needs, here is what he can do for you:
Plaintiffs
If you have been abused, you should contact the police immediately. They can submit your case to a judge for a restraining order. Mr. Goldblatt can also help you acquire a restraining order for your protection. Once the case has been filed, a judge will review it and can issue a temporary restraining order.
A hearing in front of a family court judge will be set within 10 days. Mr. Goldblatt can represent you at the hearing to present evidence and fight to protect you from future harm. We will seek to have the judge enter a permanent restraining order and secure the protection you need.
Defendants
If you have received notice that a restraining order has been filed against you, it is important that you retain help as soon as possible. Even a temporary restraining order can keep you from returning home. A restraining order hearing will be held within 10 days of your receipt of notice. At the hearing, a judge can institute a variety of severe penalties.
As your attorney, Mr. Goldblatt will zealously represent you at this hearing. He will fight against a permanent restraining order and try to get the case dismissed. If that is not possible, he will negotiate for reduced penalties.
Restraining Orders Can Protect Many Victims
Although restraining orders are most commonly used to protect victims of domestic violence, a restraining order can be used to protect victims of other types of criminal behavior, including:
- Assault
- Harassment
- Stalking
- Elder Abuse
- Terroristic threats
- Criminal mischief
