Restraining orders are also called protective orders. In California, you can get a restraining order to stop you from being harassed, stalked, threatened, sexually abused, or physically abused. The person who obtains a restraining order is the protected person, while the person against whom the restraining order is enforced is the restrained person. Restraining orders raise concerns in the areas of family law, criminal law, elder abuse, civil harassment, workplace violence, and more. Oftentimes, an individual is restrained both by a domestic restraining order and a criminal protective order. Both are handled differently and an experienced attorney who knows both areas of litigation is essential. Whether you need to obtain or fight a restraining order, you should consult an experienced attorney. Hakeem, Ellis, Marengo & Ramirez is a law firm that is ready to assist you with various types of restraining orders.
In the state of California, there are four types of restraining orders available.
Domestic Violence rips families apart, and it is all too common in Stockton and throughout the central valley of California. Domestic violence is frequently a factor in family law cases including divorce, child custody, visitation rights, and other critical issues. Domestic violence victims can get restraining orders and emergency protective orders to keep them from coming into touch with their abuser. If you or someone you care about is a victim of domestic violence, whether physical, sexual, or threats of violence, get legal help right away.
We are fierce advocates for victims of domestic violence in Stockton and throughout the central valley of California. We can represent you in any legal matter. While victims of domestic violence should be granted every protection available under the law, the rights of the falsely accused must be protected as well. As ruthless as it sounds, it is not unheard of for a person to make false domestic violence allegations to gain an advantage in a divorce or child custody dispute. If this has happened to you, Hakeem, Ellis, Marengo & Ramirez can help you explore your legal options and take aggressive action on your behalf. We understand what is at risk.
When elder abuse is clear we litigate to obtain a just remedy for our clients. Senior citizens need elder law lawyers who are familiar with the types of abuse and legal remedies available. Hakeem, Ellis, Marengo & Ramirez protects the rights of senior citizens in a wide range of legal matters. When a loved one enters a senior community, assisted living facility, nursing home, or is being cared for at home it is assumed that they are safe, and protected
in a professional environment. When a loved one is not cared for properly the situation can become dangerous resulting in a serious fall, fracture, broken bones, or any type of other non-visible injuries and in some cases death. The law office of Hakeem, Ellis, Marengo & Ramirez will explore the best legal strategy to remedy your situation.
The California legal system defines civil harassment as abuse, threats of abuse, sexual assault, stalking, or serious harassment by someone the victim has not dated and does not have a close relationship with. Under California Civil Code any person who has suffered harassment by another person that threatened his or her health or well-being may seek a temporary restraining order against that person, prohibiting such harassment. A person may seek protection if he or she is being stalked, threatened, sexually assaulted, or harassed, and pursuant to California Civil Code, the conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to experience significant emotional distress, and must actually cause significant emotional distress to the victim.
A civil harassment restraining order differs from a domestic violence restraining order in that the person doing the harassment has no close family or domestic relationship with the person being harassed. For example, a civil harassment restraining order may involve a neighbor, roommate, friend, co-worker or stranger, while domestic violence restraining order typically applies to a current or former spouse, intimate partner, or other close family relatives. Other types of protective orders in the California central valley include workplace violence restraining orders and elder abuse or dependent adult abuse restraining orders. It is possible to have more than one restraining order filed against the same person, especially when criminal prosecution is involved, and if you have a criminal protective order against you, it takes priority over any other type of restraining order.
Harassment in the workplace can adversely affect every aspect of a victim’s life. If you believe your employer is engaging in unlawful conduct or allowing a hostile work environment to continue unchecked, Hakeem, Ellis, Marengo & Ramirez can guide you through the steps you need to take to vindicate your rights. Our law firm has the knowledge, trial skills, and resources to effectively take on companies throughout the central valley of California and Stockton that allow their employees to be subjected to a hostile work environment. Nearly everyone has observed some level of hostility or bullying in the workplace.
Bosses are not always respectful to their employees. Co-workers can have conflicts with each other, or just plain dislike each other. Not all hostility in the workplace rises to workplace harassment. Many conflicts or offensive conduct are linked to bad office politics and are not always illegal. Harassment is a form of discrimination. California and federal laws prohibit an employer from harassing an employee or allowing harassment in the workplace.
Workplace harassment can be in the form of offensive jokes, inappropriate physical touching, bullying, cyber or digital explicit photos, and more. It is important to document the inappropriate behavior, there is a right way and wrong way to do that.
