Nassau County Orders of Protection Lawyers — Immediate Legal Protection When You Need It
When your safety or the safety of your family is at risk, an order of protection can provide the legal shield you need. At Solomos & Associates PLLC, our Nassau County attorneys handle all aspects of orders of protection — from emergency filings to full hearings and violation proceedings.
In New York, orders of protection can be issued in both Family Court and Criminal Court. A Family Court order of protection requires a family or intimate relationship between the parties, while a Criminal Court order is issued in connection with a criminal case. We help clients navigate both systems and determine the best path forward.
We represent individuals seeking protection from domestic violence, threats, harassment, stalking, and other dangerous behavior. We also defend individuals who have been wrongfully accused of violating an order of protection or who are facing an order based on false allegations.
Time is critical in protection order cases. We offer emergency court appearances and can often obtain temporary orders of protection on the same day you contact us. Our attorneys are experienced in Nassau County Family Court and understand the local procedures that can make or break your case.
How We Can Help
Temporary & Final Orders of Protection
Obtaining temporary orders of protection for immediate safety, followed by advocacy at the full hearing to secure a final order with appropriate terms and duration.
Domestic Violence Protection
Protecting victims of physical abuse, emotional abuse, threats, and intimidation through Family Court orders that restrict contact and establish safe conditions.
Violation of Orders of Protection
Prosecuting violations of existing orders, which can result in arrest and criminal charges, or defending against false violation allegations.
Defense Against False Allegations
