Restraining Orders
Restraining Order Services at Coray Law Office PC
Restraining orders, also known as protective orders, are legal tools designed to protect individuals from harassment, stalking, threats, sexual abuse, or physical abuse. In California, the person who obtains a restraining order is referred to as the "protected person," while the individual against whom the order is enforced is the "restrained person." Restraining orders intersect with various legal areas, including family law, criminal law, elder abuse, civil harassment, and workplace violence. Often, an individual may be subject to both a domestic restraining order and a criminal protective order, which are handled differently. At Coray Law Office PC, we provide skilled legal representation for those seeking or contesting restraining orders across all categories.

Types of Restraining Orders in California
​
​Domestic Violence Restraining Orders: Domestic violence can devastate families and is a common issue in family law cases such as divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes. Victims of domestic violence in Modesto and the Central Valley can obtain restraining orders and emergency protective orders to safeguard themselves from their abuser. If you or someone you know is experiencing physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or threats of violence, seek legal assistance immediately.
At Coray Law Office PC, we are staunch advocates for victims of domestic violence, ensuring they receive the full protection of the law. Additionally, we represent individuals falsely accused of domestic violence, which can sometimes occur during contentious divorce or custody disputes. We understand the stakes involved and will aggressively protect your rights.​
​
Elder or Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Orders: Elder abuse is a serious issue that demands swift legal action. Seniors deserve to live in safety and dignity, whether in their own homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. When abuse occurs, it can lead to serious injuries or even death. Coray Law Office PC is dedicated to protecting the rights of senior citizens in Modesto and beyond, addressing issues such as neglect, physical abuse, and financial exploitation. We will pursue the best legal strategies to achieve justice for our clients.
Civil Harassment Restraining Orders: Civil harassment involves abuse, threats, sexual assault, stalking, or severe harassment by someone who does not have a close personal relationship with the victim, such as a neighbor, roommate, or coworker. Victims of civil harassment in California can seek temporary restraining orders to stop this behavior. To qualify, the conduct must cause significant emotional distress to the victim and would similarly affect a reasonable person.
Unlike domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment restraining orders apply to individuals outside of family or domestic relationships. Coray Law Office PC helps clients navigate the complexities of obtaining or contesting these orders, ensuring their rights are protected.
Workplace Violence Restraining Orders: Workplace harassment can disrupt a victim’s life, affecting both their professional and personal well-being. Harassment may take the form of offensive jokes, inappropriate physical contact, bullying, or cyber abuse. At Coray Law Office PC, we guide clients through the process of documenting and addressing workplace harassment effectively, ensuring they are protected under California and federal laws. If you have experienced workplace violence or harassment in Modesto, our skilled attorneys can help you take action.
