Representation for both petitioners seeking protection and respondents defending against allegations.
DVRO Attorney in Sacramento & Folsom, CA
Domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) are a critical tool for protecting individuals from abuse, but they also carry serious legal consequences for respondents. At the Law Office of Michael DeDecker, we represent both petitioners seeking protection and respondents who have been served with a DVRO.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, we help you obtain the protection you need quickly and effectively. We guide you through the process of obtaining a temporary restraining order and represent you at the hearing for a permanent order.
If you have been accused of domestic violence, we provide a strong defense while protecting your rights, including your custody and visitation rights, firearm ownership, and reputation.
