How can an Order of Protection Help Me?
An order of protection restrains the behavior of somebody who harms or threatens to harm you. It may direct the offending person not to injure, threaten, or harass you or your children. It may direct the offending person to stay away from you and your children, move out of your home, handover firearms, refrain from all contact with you, etc. A protection order can provide safety to alleged stalking, harassment, and domestic abuse victims in New York City.

Stalking/Harassment (Online and Offline)
Definitions of stalking vary, but it’s illegal in all 50 states. Generally, stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. It’s serious, often violent, and can escalate. If you are being stalked, please be careful on social media. Immediately restrict your Facebook settings, require permission for anybody to post on your wall or tag you in a photo, and make your friends list private. Enable two-factor authentication on all accounts, devices, cloud storage systems, modems, create unique complex passphrases and answer security question in unexpected ways (e.g., What’s your mother’s maiden name? A: The Dress is White and gold”). Lock your doors. Stay alert. Stay safe. If you want to understand your options, contact us for a confidential consultation.
