Restraining Orders

Massachusetts law provides for domestic relations restraining orders, or abuse prevention orders, in cases where physical abuse or the threat of physical abuse is present. These cases may be brought in Superior and District Court, as well as the Probate and Family Court. Restraining orders can initially be obtained without the defending party present and there is often very limited time to prepare a defense.

The Law Offices of Miriam G. Altman, P.C. represents clients seeking restraining orders and also defends clients who have had a restraining order issued against them.
