425-300-5566When You Have Had Enough
Taking action against threats, abuse, stalking, or harassment starts with a decision—a decision to end fear and regain control. Nothing can happen until you take that first step. Once you do, we’re here to help.
We are experienced trial lawyers and former prosecutors with years of courtroom expertise. We understand the stakes and know how to act quickly and effectively to secure your protection. From drafting a compelling narrative to filing legally binding Protection Orders, we manage every detail so you can focus on your safety.
No Contact Orders vs. Protection Orders
Understanding the difference between No Contact Orders and Protection Orders is crucial. If your situation involves a family law matter—such as divorce or child custody disputes—consulting a family law attorney is essential. If needed, we can refer you to trusted, empathetic professionals who can provide guidance.
No Contact Orders
Issued as part of a criminal case and contingent on that case’s outcome. These orders may be terminated if the case is dismissed.
Protection Orders
Civil orders issued by a judge after a petition and a full hearing. They are independent of criminal proceedings and remain effective regardless of related criminal cases.
How the Process Works
When you start the process with us, everything moves swiftly. This process is intentionally expedited to minimize risk and provide rapid protection.
Understanding Your Story
We’ll listen to your experiences and translate them into a clear, urgent narrative for the court.
Filing the Petition
We handle all paperwork, including evidence such as:
- Police reports
- Emails and text messages
- Social media posts
- Photos and videos
- Medical records
- Witness statements
Temporary Protection
A judge reviews the petition and may issue a temporary order to provide immediate safety.
Serving the Order
We ensure the temporary order is properly served to the individual, creating legally enforced boundaries.
Hearing Representation
At the hearing, we present evidence and advocate for a permanent Protection Order.
Long Term Order
If the court finds credible evidence of harm, a long-term Protection Order will be issued.
Renewal of a Protection Order
Already have an order that is going to expire? We can help you renew it so the order remains effective for as long as you need it.
What Happens if the Protection Order is Violated?
Violating a Protection Order is a criminal offense in Washington. If the terms of the order are ignored, law enforcement can intervene immediately. Our team will work with you to ensure every violation is reported and handled appropriately to reinforce your safety.
