Lifting a Domestic Violence Restraining Order
When a domestic violence arrest is made, law enforcement is required to ask the alleged victim if a restraining order is desired. Often they will pressure the victim so that a restraining order is imposed whether or not it is really needed.
Later, police will follow up to determine if there has been contact after the restraining order was imposed. This can potentially expose the accused to additional charges or increased bail.
Summit Defense Attorneys always make it a priority to lift restraining orders as soon as legally possible. A client should not have the exposure of additional criminal charges and the hardship of being out of their own home when the family wishes to reconcile and heal.
Besides being proposed by police at the time of the arrest the restraining order issue often arises again at the first court appearance.
Some judges in Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Mateo Counties will automatically seek to impose a restraining order at the first court appearance. Your Summit Defense Attorney will take steps in advance of court to prevent the imposition of the restraining order as well as to lay the groundwork for the ultimate dismissal of your case. We want our clients to be able to go home and try to work things out so that families and careers are not destroyed.

What is a Domestic Violence Restraining Order?
A restraining order is a California Court Order designed to help an alleged victim from being harassed. Unfortunately restraining orders are often misused and cause unnecessary difficulties for a family.
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders are one of four types of restraining orders available in California. The four types are:
- Domestic Violence Restraining Order
- Civil Harassment Restraining Order
- Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Order
- Workplace Violence Restraining Order
According to California Domestic Violence Law, an alleged victim can request a Domestic Violence Restraining Order when:
- He or she has been physically abused. This "abuse" can at times amount to a tiny scratch or bruise.
- There is a close or family relationship between the people involved such as with married or registered domestic partners, people who are divorced, separated, dating or used to date, live together or used to live together, parent, child, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather, mother-in-law or son-in-law.
- A roommate situation does not apply.
