If You Are Being Harassed Then it is Worth Talking to a Domestic Violence Attorney

You do not have to accept harassment. You can fight back with the help of a domestic violence lawyer. At Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell we will work tirelessly to ensure that you can move forward with your life without feeling frightened, powerless, and helpless. Read on to discover the legal options to respond to harassment, and then call us at (909) 920-0908 to learn more.

The Definition of and Examples of Harassment

For many victims of domestic violence, harassment can be one of the hardest forms of abuse to live with because it is not always identified as such. However, it can leave a victim feeling terrorized and powerless. Harassment can become domestic violence if it involves an intimate partner and includes stalking (this includes cyberstalking), making threats, or sending emails, texts, etc., that are harassing.

There Are Three Main Ways a Domestic Violence Attorney Can Help

If you are dealing with unwanted and harassing attention of a family member or intimate partner, then we strongly recommend you contact an attorney sooner rather than later. At Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell there are three main ways we can help:

  1. We can have an emergency protective order put into place. This is a type of restraining order that, as the name implies, is used in an emergency situation. It provides five days of almost automatic protection against anyone who is stalking or otherwise harassing you. The five days it lasts is intended to give you the time to have a more permanent restraining order put in place.
  2. We can work to have a domestic violence restraining order put into place. This is a specific type of restraining order that applies to a person who has been harassed by their spouse, domestic partner, live-in romantic partner, ex, dating partner, and certain other people. We can work to have a temporary restraining ordered for up to 21 days. Later, we can work to convince the judge to extend it to a “permanent” order that will be in place for up to three years.
  3. We can work to have a civil harassment restraining order put into place. If you are being abused by someone who does not qualify as a domestic violence abuser, then you can request a civil harassment restraining order. We can help you understand the difference and which is more applicable to your situation.

My ex-wife hired an attorney which prompted me to do so for our divorce. Torrence Howell was highly recommended from a friend of mine who used Torrence’s services for a divorce just like mine. The results came out much better than he ever thought it would. With all things being equal I felt Torrence would
