Whether you are seeking protection or defending yourself against an order, we move quickly to protect your rights while offering compassionate legal support during a highly stressful time.

Understanding Civil Protection Orders

A Civil Protection Order (CPO) is a court order designed to protect individuals from domestic violence or the threat of harm by a family or household member. It is a civil (not criminal) action brought by the petitioner against a respondent. If the petitioner proves that domestic violence has occurred or is likely to occur, the court may issue a temporary order, followed by a full hearing for a more permanent solution.


The initial hearing often happens without the respondent present. A second hearing is scheduled quickly, and both parties must appear with legal representation highly recommended. Outcomes from these hearings can affect housing, parenting rights, and access to shared spaces or property.

Civil Stalking Protection Orders

If the individuals involved are not related or living together, a different legal option exists: the Civil Stalking Protection Order (CSPO). These orders address repeated threatening or harassing behavior from someone outside your household — including neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, or strangers.



To obtain a stalking protection order, the petitioner must show a pattern of behavior that creates fear or emotional distress. These cases can be emotionally intense and legally complex, requiring experienced legal support to file or defend.

FAQS

  • What qualifies for a Civil Protection Order in Ohio?

    A CPO may be issued when a family or household member has committed or threatened violence. The court must find evidence of harm or a credible threat. We help you present that case or respond to it appropriately.

  • Can a protection order affect my parenting rights?

    Yes. A CPO can include terms that limit parenting time or bar contact with children. If you are a parent involved in a CPO case, it is critical to have an attorney protect your rights and propose safe, legal alternatives.

  • What happens if I violate a protection order?

    Violation of a protection order can result in criminal charges, jail time, or contempt of court. We help you understand the terms and represent you if you have been accused of a violation.

  • Can I get a protection order against someone I am not related to?

    Yes. If the person is not a household or family member, a Civil Stalking Protection Order may apply. These require a different standard of evidence but offer similar protection.

  • How fast can a protection order be issued?

    Temporary orders can often be issued the same day the petition is filed. A full hearing is typically scheduled within 7 to 10 business days. We help you act quickly to protect your safety or reputation.

  • What if I’ve worked with another attorney before?

    That’s not a problem. We frequently take over or review existing cases. We’ll request your file, assess where things stand, and build a plan to move forward with continuity and care.
