Philadelphia Protection from Abuse Lawyers
Domestic Violence • Restraining Orders • Protection for Abuse Victims
Violence at home or abuse by a family member causes serious physical harm and emotional trauma. The domestic violence attorneys at the Law Offices of John E. Kusturiss, Jr. can help you understand how the law protects you from abuse. Attorneys John Kusturiss and Alyssa Poole understand the Pennsylvania Protection From Abuse Act and can help protect you from your abuser.
A protection from abuse order - also called a PFA order and commonly called a restraining order - is an order from a judge that forces your abuser to leave your home immediately and makes it a crime for him or her to return or have any contact with you at any location. An order gives you an immediate remedy and protection under the law.
For help obtaining a protection from abuse order, contact the Law Offices of John E. Kusturiss, Jr. for an initial consultation.
The firm has more than 29 years of experience in helping domestic violence and abuse victims get protection under the law. Attorneys John Kusturiss and Alyssa Poole can help you every step of the way:
- File the initial petition for a protection from abuse/PFA order
- Talk with the judge, if necessary, to stress the important and immediate need for a restraining order
- Represent you at the hearing 10 days after the order is issued
- Show at the hearing that the protection from abuse order is necessary to prevent harm and should be continued or extended
- Help hold the abuser responsible if he or she violates the restraining order
Has an order been issued against you?
The lawyers also represent alleged abusers at formal hearings to contest the protection from abuse order. If you have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence or abuse and need to have an order overturned, it is important to speak with a criminal defense attorney who understands the law and these delicate family law issues.
