Do I Need a Lawyer for a Temporary Restraining Order Hearing in New Jersey?
A Temporary Restraining Order, or TRO, is usually issued without the defendant present. You may not have a chance to contest it until the Final Restraining Order hearing, which generally takes place within 10 days. That hearing is important because a Final Restraining Order can remain in place permanently and affect your home, firearms rights, employment, custody, and parenting time.
Speak with a lawyer as soon as you receive the TRO. Matthew Cohan and his team review the allegations, explain every restriction, preserve helpful evidence, and prepare for the Final Restraining Order hearing.
