Folsom Civil Protective Order Attorneys
Northern California Lawyers for Restraining Orders & Civil Protective Orders
If you or a member of your family is being stalked, harassed, threatened, or abused, you may request a civil harassment restraining order. This type of restraining order is different than a domestic violence restraining order, as it cannot be ordered against a spouse, ex-spouse, dating partner, or close relative (such as a parent, child, sibling, or grandparent).
Instead, civil protective orders should be used if you are experiencing harassment from a:
- Friend
- Neighbor
- Roommate
- Family member more than two degrees removed (such as an aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or cousin)
If you need help requesting a civil protective restraining order to protect yourself or your family, the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. can help. Our restraining order attorneys can also assist you if you feel that a protective order has been unfairly or unnecessarily taken against you.
You don’t have to put up with harassment. Reach out to our civil harassment restraining order attorneys now by calling (916) 794-4576 or completing our online contact form.
How to File a Civil Protective Order in CA
The process of obtaining a civil protective order in Folsom is as follows:
- You will need to complete the necessary paperwork.
- Pay the applicable fee, unless you qualify for a fee waiver.
- A judge will decide whether or not to approve the request within one business day, if not sooner.
- If approved, a temporary order will be instated. This order will only last until your hearing.
How Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Protect Me?
A civil harassment restraining order can prevent the person from:
- Contacting you or your family
- Approaching you, your children, or anyone you live with, no matter where you are
- Maintain a certain distance from your work, school, or home
- Possessing a gun
Violations of a civil protective order could result in fines, jail time, or both.

“I feel blessed to have Ms. Andrews on my side, and I highly recommend her services!”
- CarlosAfter the initial shock of being served divorce papers, I began interviewing attorneys to help me with the legal proceedings. The first couple of attorneys focused on how to address the support and division of property issues included in the papers I was served, without really asking me about my interests in this matter.
After meeting with Ms. Andrews, and ever since that initial interview and consultation, I always felt she had my best interests in mind. She immediately explained what I needed to file and when what to expect going forward and then asked me about my interests. Wow! She was exactly the kind of attorney I was looking for to represent me.
She was always responsive to my questions and requests, no matter how basic, and got back to me in a timely manner… at times outside normal work hours. But, the biggest and most pleasant surprise to me was when she began educating and guiding me through every step in order to achieve my interests and goals -– mainly, my number one priority and “my everything” in this whole process: to retain shared custody and visitation rights with my children. Her guidance and recommendations put me at ease and really helped put my children first.
Her knowledge, honesty, and dedication through numerous and unexpected court hearings involving custody and visitation issues not only resulted in the resolution of such issues in a competent and efficient manner but a resolution that Ms. Andrews knew I wanted.
Not only is Ms. Andrews reliable, helpful and an overall amazing attorney, her office staff is also very courteous, professional and efficient in keeping me apprised of what was needed and the status of the case. Thank you so much, Ms. Andrews… and staff!!
