Restraining Order Attorney In Louisiana

What is a Restraining Order?

A restraining order, also known as an order of protection, is commonly issued by a court to protect an individual from being harmed, abused, threatened, or harassed by an abuser. A restraining order may also be issued to keep the abuser away from a scene of the violence. This may be a person’s home or workplace.

If you have been a victim of violence or have been threatened, it’s likely that you need to seek protection from your potential abuser. A restraining order or order of protection may be the help you need. Below we have outlined the process to obtain protective orders in the state of Louisiana.

Types of Domestic Abuse

  • Sexual abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Assault
  • Stalking

Each of these types of abuse can lead to a restraining order. If you are a victim of domestic abuse or you are fearful that you are in danger because of threats of abuse, you should immediately seek help in obtaining protective orders.

The Different Types of Protective Orders

  1. Temporary restraining order (TRO) - A temporary restraining order is the first step in obtaining a long-term protective order and is issued by the court on an immediate basis. The person accused of abuse will be notified immediately after the temporary restraining order is issued by the court. A court date will be issued for a hearing where you will be heard by a judge.
  2. Emergency temporary restraining order - During an emergency that happens outside of normal court hours, an emergency temporary restraining order may be filed. This protection only lasts until the end of the next day in which the court is open. You must request a TRO from the court in order for the protective order to continue.
  3. Long-term protective order - After your court hearing, a long-term protective order may be issued. This type of protective order lasts up to 18 months, unless there are certain circumstances in which case it can last longer. Some parts of the order may last indefinitely. The court hearing for this type of order allows for both parties to provide supporting evidence and tell their sides of the story. It is required that both parties attend.

Obtaining a Restraining Order

In order to start the process of obtaining a restraining order, you must file a petition with the court. You are not required to pay any fees to file this petition. If you are in immediate danger it is important that you know to call 911. You can also contact an attorney at Rozas or local police to seek a temporary restraining order if you have been a victim of domestic abuse or have been threatened.

I wanted to apply for my citizenship and Jessica referred me to Rozas and Associates. They made the whole process seem so simple. David and his staff were extremely knowledgeable, not to mention friendly. I highly recommend them for any of your immigration issues.

Janie Garcia

Jessica and David were amazing! They made me feel like my issue was important, they took the time to explain things to me and prepare me for any outcome, they were always there every time I called them with any questions, and always looked and acted very professional. I highly recommend them! 😊

Stacey Garcia

David is very professional & friendly. Never had to wait for multiple days before he responded to our calls or replied to my emails with an answer to our questions & concerns. Responding in a timely manner made us feel that our needs were not taken lightly. It truly was a really positive experience.

Mirna Sorto

Rozas and Associates Law Firm was absolutely amazing handling a case for me. They were very nice and got back to me and whatever I needed. The bond department was on top of everything and managed to get bond for the case. I couldn’t recommend a more better or more reliable group of people to handle immigration cases.

Hannah Castillo

I am so very thankful that I found Rozas & Rozas Law Firm. They were so professional and nice. I was blown away with how fast they got me in and was able to help me with my situation. Corey was so helpful. He felt more like a friend than an attorney but I am so grateful for them during the WHOLE experience and I most definitely will use them if I ever need that law assistance again! Thank you Rozas & Rozas. :)

Trévon Dyson

They are the best immigration lawyers. Thanks to the lawyer Rachel my husband won his asylum. They are more than more than recommended, it was a blessing from God that they represent my husband.

Jaqueline Burgos

I’m so glad I picked Rozas’ to help me through my divorce. They handled everything so well, quickly, and cost-effectively. In particular, Brandi, who I interacted with the most was beyond amazing. She always responded to messages right away, and not only was efficient but also compassionate in the way that she interacted with me. Definitely recommend!

Mary Allen

Very good service from all the Rozas & Rozas workers, they help all the immigrants as if they were their family. In my personal experience I have to thank the majority but in my case directly to Tirsa, Danira, Alejandra, Ana and the lawyer Rachel🙏 🙏🏻🙏🏻..Thank you on behalf of my cousin Fidel and the whole family🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dunia Rodriguez

This law firm is amazing! David represented me in my case and he could not have done a better job. The staff is so professional and friendly. Especially Jessica. They make you feel like your case is the most important one they are working. I plan to recommend them to all of my friends and family who may need their services.

Michelle Barron

For all my Latin friends who are going through immigration and legal processes, I recommend this law firm since they are excellent. They defend the Latino community very well. They are very professional and attentive. They respond to you immediately and fight for your case. A thousand thanks to Pamela for being super attentive and Nancy who was exceptional. Also to John Sharby and his colleagues who worked on my wife's case who was in a Louisiana detention center, they are the best. Many thanks to all for their professionalism.

Aidevis Zamora

Attentive, thorough, passionate about justice for immigrants, honest and fair – these are some of the words to describe Rozas and Associates law firm. My boyfriend was detained at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana in June 2019. We hired Rozas to represent him because of their reputation amongst the detainees in the Center. Rachel Chappell and the rest of the Rozas team worked tirelessly to assist us – and he won full asylum one week ago.

Josie Lalonde

We couldn't be more happy about choosing this law-firm. We live in Miami and have a friend that needed help with an immigration case. We did a lot of research and called many different firms and decided to go with Rozas and Associates. From the moment we called, Nancy took the time to explain us everything and what our options were, she was very patient and helpful. Once we decided to hire them, Joseph, David and Rachel were assigned to our case. Rachel is THE BEST! She answered our calls always, and whenever she was busy or not available to talk, she always called us back or texted us... every question that we had throughout the process was professionally and patiently answered by her. She's amazing!!!
