Domestic Violence & Protection Orders in Reno
At the Law Offices of Marta L. Presti, Attorney at Law in Reno, Nevada, I represent people seeking temporary protection orders (TPOs) to put an end to domestic abuse as well as people who need to defend themselves against them. Domestic violence cases are emotionally-charged, making it important to have a lawyer on your side who can cut through the emotions and provide sound advice.
I have been handling domestic violence cases since 1976 and have seen many different situations during that time. I work closely with my clients, letting them know exactly where they stand as I seek to ensure that their rights and the interests of their children are being fully protected.
To learn more about your options regarding temporary protection orders, contact me today to schedule an appointment at my comfortable Reno law office.
Do You Need a TPO or Restraining Order?
If you are being abused, you should seek a TPO immediately. They are relatively easy for women to secure in cases of alleged domestic violence and do not initially require the assistance of an attorney. For men allegedly being abused by a woman, fair or not, they are slightly more difficult to acquire. These orders expire in 30 days unless there is a motion made and a full hearing to look into the underlying allegations.
Need Help Fighting One?
If allegations of domestic violence have been made against you, a TPO can cause the immediate loss of your home and contact with your children. It could also result in prohibitions against possessing or carrying a firearm and come with a huge social stigma. The best solution is to never put yourself in a position to be falsely accused of domestic violence. If you have been, though, you need an experienced attorney dedicated to protecting your rights.
