Protecting Your Rights And Freedoms In Complex PPO Matters
At Gordon & Hess, PLC, we understand the complexities and emotional challenges involved in personal protection order (PPO) cases. With over 45 years of experience, our knowledgeable attorneys are committed to protecting your rights and freedoms, whether you are seeking a PPO or defending against one in Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas.
Understanding And Establishing A PPO
A PPO is a legal injunction that helps protect individuals from criminal activity such as harassment, stalking or threats of violence. In Michigan, there are various types of PPOs, including domestic relationship PPOs and non-domestic stalking PPOs. Our lawyers will guide you through the process of obtaining a PPO, ensuring that it is set up correctly to provide the necessary protection.
Each county’s PPO application process can differ. Our team knows the county-specific procedures and will ensure your PPO follows all necessary regulations.
Whether You Are The Petitioner Or The Respondent, Our Team Is Ready To Help
Our team can assist both filers seeking PPOs and those against whom PPOs are filed. For instance, in family law cases, PPOs may need modifications for child custody and orders of protection matters, such as allowing for child exchanges or involving a third party in the exchange. Courts are often reluctant to modify PPOs, so our legal knowledge is crucial. We help fine-tune PPOs to address specific needs and, in rare cases, can assist in getting a PPO dropped if it is based on false claims. Remember, the recipient has 14 days to object to a PPO, making timely legal intervention essential.
