What Are Federal Protection Orders?

Federal protection orders are legal documents issued by federal courts that prohibit an individual from contacting, approaching, or harming another person. They're like a forcefield of legal protection around you. These orders carry serious consequences if violated, including federal criminal charges.Some key things to know about federal protection orders:

• They can be issued in cases involving federal crimes like stalking across state lines or cyberstalking
• They're enforceable anywhere in the U.S.
• Violations are federal offenses that can result in prison time

Federal protection orders are powerful tools, but the process of obtaining one can be complex. That's why having an experienced attorney on your side is so important.

Types of Federal Protection Orders

There are a few different types of federal protection orders available, depending on your specific situation:

1. Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs): These provide immediate, short-term protection while you wait for a full hearing. They typically last 14 days.
2. Preliminary Injunctions: These offer longer-term protection and can last for the duration of a legal case.
3. Permanent Injunctions: As the name suggests, these provide ongoing protection with no set end date.
4. Criminal Protection Orders: Issued in federal criminal cases to protect victims and witnesses.

Here's a handy table summarizing the key differences: Knowing which type of order to pursue can be tricky. That's where WE come in. Our experienced attorneys can assess your situation and recommend the best course of action.
