Folsom Civil Protective Order Attorneys
Northern California Lawyers for Restraining Orders & Civil Protective Orders
If you or a member of your family is being stalked, harassed, threatened, or abused, you may request a civil harassment restraining order. This type of restraining order is different than a domestic violence restraining order, as it cannot be ordered against a spouse, ex-spouse, dating partner, or close relative (such as a parent, child, sibling, or grandparent).
Instead, civil protective orders should be used if you are experiencing harassment from a:
- Friend
- Neighbor
- Roommate
- Family member more than two degrees removed (such as an aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or cousin)
If you need help requesting a civil protective restraining order to protect yourself or your family, the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. can help. Our restraining order attorneys can also assist you if you feel that a protective order has been unfairly or unnecessarily taken against you.
You don’t have to put up with harassment. Reach out to our civil harassment restraining order attorneys now by calling (916) 794-4576 or completing our online contact form.
How to File a Civil Protective Order in CA
The process of obtaining a civil protective order in Folsom is as follows:
- You will need to complete the necessary paperwork.
- Pay the applicable fee, unless you qualify for a fee waiver.
- A judge will decide whether or not to approve the request within one business day, if not sooner.
- If approved, a temporary order will be instated. This order will only last until your hearing.
How Can a Civil Harassment Restraining Order Protect Me?
A civil harassment restraining order can prevent the person from:
- Contacting you or your family
- Approaching you, your children, or anyone you live with, no matter where you are
- Maintain a certain distance from your work, school, or home
- Possessing a gun
Violations of a civil protective order could result in fines, jail time, or both.

“Divorce & Separation Advice Session”
Very helpful and experienced!- Previous Client -
“Hard Working”
Ms. Andrews did a lot of research on issues she was not clear so that she would be able to provide accurate information and advice. She worked diligently on my case, while my ex's attorney was playing "legal games" - by sending letters with false claims to rack up his fees - while pretending to work on the case. Unfortunately my divorce was very complicated; however, in the end, Ms. Andrews managed to win over my ex - so he fired his attorney and we had Mr. Andrews finish the final paperwork for the both of us. In the end, Ms. Andrews saved both me and my ex, additional grief, frustration and money.- Previous Client -

“Great Attorney!”
Thus far I am impressed with Tiffany L. Andrews. I found Tiffany on this very site while on a time crunch. Great reviews gave me hope. The start of my case occurred on a Wednesday night, Thursday night I was informed I needed legal counsel. I searched the web for hours until I came across Tiffany. The morning of Friday I called the office to schedule a phone consultation and informed them I needed a lawyer ASAP. Monday morning Tiffany showed up in court to represent me and I felt a sense of ease. I appreciate that Tiffany is very accessible. If I have a question she responds within a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to protect your privacy and rights. I hope the rest of my child dependency case is smooth sailing from here on out. Thank You, Tiffany, for your help. Greatly appreciated!- Previous Client -
