What Are Restraining Orders?
Restraining orders, also called protection orders, are orders issued by a court that restrict a person's rights to interact with another person or entity. Protection orders most often come into play in civil cases when a person is accused of abuse, harassment, or domestic violence. If you are in danger, David Partovi can help you secure a restraining order.
Restraining orders can provide necessary protection to true victims of abuse or domestic violence. However, men and women occasionally make false accusations of abuse or domestic violence in order to gain leverage in divorce cases or child custody disputes. Under those circumstances, an innocent person can suddenly find themselves forced to leave their own home or cut off from contact with their children, and potentially face criminal proceedings. When you are served with an unfair protection order, our restraining order attorney can help you argue for the order to be lifted.
Types of Protection Orders
There are several types of protection orders in Washington State and Idaho. By consulting with a restraining order attorney at our Spokane law office, we can help determine which is best for your situation.
Temporary Restraining Order
Temporary restraining orders in Idaho and Washington State are often granted to protect a person until court proceedings can take place, and they are most often used in cases of domestic violence. They are granted for a 14-day period and need a court order to be extended.
Domestic Violence Protection Order
A domestic violence protection order is the most common order of protection in Washington State. It is a court order against a family or household member who has harmed you or threatened to harm you.
No-Contact Order
A no-contact order does not require a petition as it is part of criminal action proceedings. This order prevents a person from making any sort of contact with you but generally does not last as long as a protection order. This order also does not award child custody or establish visitation.
Civil Anti-Harassment Protection Order
This type of order is used in situations where you are seeking a protection order against a non-family member. These often apply to stalker situations or disputes between neighbors and are helpful when a person has not been assaulted or threatened with bodily harm.

Mr. Partovi held a joint consultation call with his paralegal, my wife and me. There was not a lot of time for response and their schedule was tight. Both of them took an hour of their Saturday to meet with us and discuss our needs. The conversation was to the point and honest. It is clear that Mr. Partovi and his team put their reputation and client's expectations first. No need to promise the moon when you come across as an honest, knowledgable professional. Their knowledge and experience came through in the call and made me reconsider my entire approach. They told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to. In an hour's time, they earned my trust. The reviews below are correct, Partovi Law lives up the their reputation. It is clear they know what they are doing and urge anyone with any doubt to reach out for advice.
