A Los Angeles Restraining Order is a court order from the Los Angeles Superior Court directing the receiver of the restraining order to stop harassing, abusing, touching and/or coming into close proximity of the individual or individuals filing for the restraining order. The intent of the Los Angeles restraining order is to protect an individual from someone who is violent, abusive, harassing, intimidating and/or threatening an individual. If you are in need of a domestic violence restraining order in the county of Los Angeles, you may get one free of charge from the L.A. Superior Court and the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) will enforce the order.

Los Angeles Restraining Orders are available on a 24 hour basis because there is a Superior Court judge or a court commissioner available to issue telephone restraining orders when the L.A. Superior Court is not in session. You can even get a restraining order through the LAPD when there are reasonable facts showing or demonstrating an immediate and present threat of domestic violence to you.

If someone violates a Los Angeles Restraining Order, they can be arrested by the LAPD or any other police department where the offender is found. Once you have a restraining order issued by the court, you will want to meet with detectives of the LAPD and give them a photo and a detailed description of the person who is hurting and/or harassing you. Now if all this sounds a little complicated, intimidating and/or you want someone to make sure that you are doing everything right, you have the option of hiring a Los Angeles restraining order attorney to help you through the process and safeguard your personal and legal rights.
