When Filing a Restraining Order, You Can Ask That The Sheriff’s Department Serve It

When filing a restraining order based upon credible threats of violence by the restrained person against the protected person, you can ask that the Sheriff’s Department in your county serve him with the restraining order paperwork. Los Angeles and Orange counties just ask that you fill out a document describing the addresses of that person and a description of them so that if they see them, they can make contact and serve that person.

Sometimes there can be problems even if they try to serve the other person. People try to dodge the service which can delay the case and cause problems trying to obtain a permanent restraining order.

It’s important when hiring your Los Angeles Restraining Order attorney that they are knowledgeable in all aspects of restraining orders so that you can make sure that you’re protected from the other person. Contact Michael S. Carrillo today for a free consultation at (323) 657-5954.
