“Extremely professional.” New Brunswick Chooses Adam Brown

Mr. Brown was extremely professional, listened, and responded in a timely fashion, whenever possible. He did not miss a single phone call and answered all my questions with honesty. If he was uncertain, he didn’t play super man, but instead, did the research and updated me after… I thank Mr. Brown for winning my case.

I have worked with Adam Brown for over a year, and he has represented me in a very complex family law case. He does appear to be young, but do not let that deter you he was confident, had a good understanding of the law, and was reasonably available when I needed to ask questions.

While most people associate restraining orders with acts of domestic violence, they can also address situations outside the family. In the state of New Jersey, you can secure a restraining order against another person if you were the victim of:
- Threats
- Stalking
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Assault
- Kidnapping
- Harassment
- Cyber harassment
- Lewdness
- Sexual assault
- Criminal restraint
- Criminal mischief
- Criminal trespassing
- False imprisonment
- Verbal, physical, psychological, or mental abuse
- More
If a protective order is granted, your abuser won’t be allowed within a certain distance of you, and they’ll have to abide by rules put forth by a judge to prevent them from harming you and your household members.
Securing Your Restraining Order
Putting an attorney on your side from the start will allow you to navigate the court system with ease and provide you with good representation when it’s time for your hearing.
Your court date will likely get pushed back due to a high volume of restraining order cases. Use this as an opportunity to amend your complaint and detail every act of violence that occurred against you. If it's not included in your complaint, you won't be allowed to talk about it in court.
“When I needed a lawyer immediately Mr. Brown was there. I called several other attorneys offices and they all made me feel like my case was a lose lose situation. When I contacted Mr. Brown and explained to him my situation he immediately informed me on what I needed to do and how to go about doing it. Because of him my case turned in my favor." - Keri, 5-Star Review
Protect Yourself Against a Restraining Order
If someone has filed a temporary restraining order against you, you’ll receive a copy of the order and a notice of your court hearing. The order will include everything you must and must not do. Follow the TRO until your court hearing, and show up ready to share your side of the story. Put our New Brunswick attorney on your side to strengthen your case and fight the order.
If someone has filed a false restraining order against you, a restraining order that involves false claims of domestic violence, you should still contact an attorney. Exes often use false restraining orders as a tool to gain the upper hand in divorce or child custody cases. Adam Brown can illustrate the alleged victim’s abuse of the legal system.
If you’ve been served with a restraining order, contact our restraining order attorney in New Brunswick, NJ. With Adam Brown, you can explore your legal options, gather relevant evidence to prove your innocence, protect your rights, and secure the best possible outcome for yourself and your family.
Restraining Order FAQ
What proof do you need for a restraining order in New Jersey?
In the state of New Jersey, you must be able to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the defendant is a danger to you and/or your children. To this end, our New Jersey restraining order lawyer recommends that you save all text messages, emails, and social media communications with your abuser. Take pictures of injuries and videos of the scene of the abuse. Keep a journal and detail what happened, when it happened, and what was said to you. Be as descriptive as possible to bolster your criminal or domestic violence case.
I’m not a victim of domestic violence. Can I still obtain a protective order?
Yes. While restraining orders are most often associated with cases of domestic violence, they’re also issued in criminal cases that involve acts such as stalking and sexual violence. However, the standards for obtaining a restraining order in a criminal case are strict. If your case involves criminal charges instead of domestic violence, Adam Brown can walk you through your options, such as a workplace restraining order.
My abuser violated the restraining order. What happens now?
If the defendant in your case violated the restraining order, they can be held in contempt of court, a crime involving fines and jail time. If they violate it again, they could face jail time of up to 18 months.
