Protective Orders

Supporting and Defending Against Petitions

The prosecution and defense of protective orders is an important part of our practice. And with new changes in Virginia’s law on these matters, an expanding one as well. We know that these proceedings are often a precursor to divorce and used for purposes other than what the legislature likely intended. Therefore, we do our best to make certain that the courts hear the whole story leading to the petition and not just what is written on the application for a preliminary or permanent protective order.
