Restraining Order Attorneys in New Jersey | Afonso & Archie Law
Restraining orders — formally known as Final Restraining Orders (FRO) in New Jersey — have serious and permanent consequences. Whether you are seeking protection or defending against a restraining order, the outcome of your hearing can affect your housing, your custody arrangements, your employment, and your right to possess firearms.
Afonso & Archie Law represents both plaintiffs and defendants in restraining order proceedings throughout New Jersey.
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.

How the Process Works in New Jersey
A Temporary Restraining Order can be granted the same day it is applied for, often without the other party present. A Final Restraining Order hearing is typically scheduled within 10 days. At that hearing, both parties have the right to present evidence and testimony before a judge. The outcome is permanent unless modified by the court.
Having an attorney at your FRO hearing is critical — on either side of the case.
