Civil protection order cases move quickly and carry serious consequences, whether you are seeking protection or defending against a petition. The outcome can affect where you live and your contact with family, and because a violation can itself be a criminal matter, your liberty as well.

​

We represent both petitioners and respondents in civil protection orders (CPOs) and anti-stalking orders (ASOs) in D.C. Superior Court. For those seeking protection, we present the case clearly and effectively. For those responding, we defend against allegations that are often made in the middle of a difficult relationship or dispute, working to protect your record, your rights, and your reputation. Because these cases sit where civil and criminal consequences meet, the judgment of experienced trial counsel matters. Our founding partners bring exactly that.
