Orders of Protection
The Order of Protection Clinic provides help filing for Orders of Protection most days that the court is in session. Staff and volunteers can discuss whether an Order of Protection may keep you safer, and help you prepare and file your case. They can also assist with preparing paperwork remotely, and facilitate a remote hearing for an Emergency Order of Protection.
