Orders of Protection

Long Island Protection Orders Attorneys

If you are a victim of domestic violence or abuse, you should speak with an attorney who can help you obtain an order of protection in New York. Also known as a protective order or restraining order, orders of protection can keep you out of harm’s way from threats, abuse, violence, and any other nefarious behavior.

Orders of protection are extremely effective and offer protection from the following:

  • Physical abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Harassment
  • Stalking
  • Reckless endangerment
  • Assault and battery
  • Aggravated assault and battery

Are you looking to obtain an order of protection in New York? Contact us today to discuss your options.

Helping Victims of Domestic Violence & Abuse

It is common for a victim of domestic violence to be uncertain about how to get help. Additionally, due to the shame and fear of retaliation, a victim might be too embarrassed or afraid to even ask for help.

For access to the domestic violence hotline in your county, contact the New York State Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline at 1-800-942-6906.

At Samuelson Hause PLLC, we urge you to contact an attorney at our office who can help you seek the protection you need and deserve.

Types of Protective Orders in New York

There are two main types of protective orders in New York. Our attorneys can determine which one would best serve your needs and situation. The two types of protective orders are:

Stay-Away Order

This type of protective order prohibits the accused from coming within a certain distance of the victim, as well as from coming within a close distance of the victim's home, work, or any other place he or she frequents. A victim can usually obtain a stay-away order that protects his or her children as well.

Refrain-From Order 

This type of protective order prohibits the accused from engaging in certain behavior, such as making threats against the victim, assaulting the victim, harassing the victim, or inflicting violence against the victim. Refrain-from orders can also forbid the accused from contacting the victim and his/her children - whether in person, over the phone, through email, via text message, etc.
