A Vigorous Defense of Your Rights and Freedom

Ross & Calaway represents clients accused of family violence at all stages of the legal process. It is in your interests to stop legal action against you as soon as possible.

In Ohio, a restraining order or temporary protection order (TPO) is issued as part of a criminal case and is an order barring you from contact with a certain individual. Similar to a TPO, a Civil Protection Order (CPO) could be issued by a Court of Common Pleas or domestic or family relations court and works much likes a TPO. While it is not permanent, a CPO can be renewed. Both orders bar you from contact with the persons named in the order and can be used in some cases as justification for the removal of your child custody and visitation rights. Our firm can represent you at the TPO or CPO hearing in an attempt to prevent a TPO or CPO from being entered against you.

Violation of the terms of a TPO or CPO is a criminal offense. If you have been charged, our attorneys can represent you in pre-trial hearings and at the trial if necessary. We can also request and vigorously defend you at a hearing to prevent the issuance of the TPO or CPO. Our goal in such cases is to provide a strong defense, which protects your rights and preserves your freedom.
