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. 

Follow the TRO exactly. Do not call, text, email, message, or ask someone else to contact the protected person.
