Restraining Orders
Swift, decisive legal protection — or a strong defense — when it matters most.
Legal Protection When You Need It Most

Whether you need to obtain a restraining order quickly or you need to defend against one you believe is unjust, Michael E. Damico has the experience to guide you through the process with urgency and care.

Types of Restraining Orders
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
A TRO can be obtained the same day you file. It provides immediate protection and is in effect until a final hearing, typically within 10 days.
Final Restraining Order (FRO)
After a court hearing where both parties can present evidence, a judge may issue a Final Restraining Order — which has no expiration date in New Jersey.
Defending Against a Restraining Order
If you have been served with a TRO, you have the right to contest it at the final hearing. We provide strong, strategic defense to protect your rights.
