A Violence Restraining Order or VRO, is a protection order of the court designed to prevent acts of physical abuse and stop threats in the future. It requires the person to behave in certain ways, prohibiting them from contacting you and being near you or your property.

If you are the person against whom a restraining order is made, and you believe the order is not justified, for example, it may be a bitter revenge tactic after a relationship breakdown, you have grounds to object to the VRO.

We can help you object to the restraining order, comply with the interim order which may be issued awaiting trial and help you prepare for trial.

If someone has threatened you or your property or acts violently towards you, and you are concerned that it will continue, we can help you apply for a Violence Restraining Order.

Our experienced team of criminal lawyers will guide you through every step of the application process, making sure that the restraining order is in place quickly, to ensure your safety.
