Orders of Protection & Restraining Orders

BSHR represents clients in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi seeking or responding to orders of protection, restraining orders, and requests for emergency court relief. When domestic abuse, stalking, threats, or urgent safety concerns affect you or your children, understanding the available legal remedies is especially important. Our family law attorneys help clients evaluate their circumstances, prepare petitions or responses, and prepare for protective order hearings.

Orders of protection and restraining orders serve different purposes, and eligibility, procedures, and available relief vary by state. Our attorneys assist with presenting evidence, responding to allegations, understanding court-imposed restrictions, and addressing alleged violations of existing orders. We also evaluate emergency relief in divorce and child custody matters, including concerns involving parenting arrangements or marital property. Whether you need help seeking protection or responding to a petition, we provide focused representation and clear guidance about your rights, obligations, and next steps. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.
