Emergency Protection Orders

Immediate Protection, Strategic Advocacy

When safety is at risk, the law offers immediate remedies. An Emergency Protection Order (EPO) is designed to provide urgent legal protection to individuals experiencing family violence and threats of family violence. At ABA Family Lawyers, we handle these matters with care – ensuring that your voice is heard and your safety is prioritized.

EPOs can be issued on short notice and typically involve serious restrictions on the respondent, such as:

These orders are usually temporary but can have lasting effects. That’s why whether you’re applying for protection or responding to an EPO, it’s crucial to have experienced legal representation.

When longer-term safety is needed, a King’s Bench Protection Order (KBPO) can provide more comprehensive, court-enforced restrictions. These orders often follow an EPO (but are not required to) and are issued after a formal court review.

We assist clients with both obtaining and contesting KBPOs, including:

Whether you’re pursuing a KBPO for continued protection or defending against one to ensure fair treatment, we provide level-headed, strategic legal support.
