Restraining Orders



A temporary restraining order is a court order that places limitations on a person with the goal of protecting another named party. Typically, a TRO will last only a few weeks prior to a court hearing that will determine if there is a need for a permanent restraining order. If that is the case, these longer orders can remain in place for up to five years and can be renewed even longer than that.



Because there is so much on the line with restraining orders, including many complications to your daily life and even being unable to be a part of your child’s life, it is critical that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney to guide you through this legal process.


It is imperative that you begin mounting your case as soon as possible if you have a temporary restraining order against you. This type of case can cause irreversible damage to your freedom, employment, and future. Attorney Bruner has the experience to help you navigate this difficult case.


If you’re served with a restraining order, you have a short timeframe to comply with the order and respond to it. You have the right to provide the court with your side of the story, but you need to do so properly to ensure the best possible outcome. Ensure you have a trusted criminal defense attorney to help you with this process.
