ARIZONA PROTECTIVE ORDER/ORDER OF PROTECTION/INJUNCTION AGAINST HARASSMENT APPEALS ATTORNEY

Lise does appeals for people who have lost a protective order (also known as an order of protection) or injunction against harassment hearing. 

 

Many attorneys don’t do this type of appeal.  If the appeal is to Superior Court, the timeline is much shorter than in the Court of Appeals.  There aren’t many Court of Appeals or Supreme Court cases with in depth analysis to help support legal arguments.  Some people who want to appeal are defendants whom plaintiffs took out protective orders, orders of protection, or injunctions against harassment that were upheld and involve messy domestic violence, divorce, or custody issues.

 

If the hearing was in a city or justice court, then the appeals court is the Superior Court.  If the hearing was in Superior Court, then the appeals court is the Court of Appeals.

 

It is very important to file a timely Notice of Appeal with the hearing court.  Failure to do so will result in the Superior Court or Court of Appeals dismissing the appeal.  It is also very important to order a certified transcript of the hearing as soon as possible and present it correctly to the Superior Court or Court of Appeals.  Failure to do these things will result in the Superior Court or Court of Appeals affirming the ruling of the hearing court.

 

Preparing and filing an appeal of a protective order or injunction against harassment hearing is a complex process.  Lisa is an experienced, passionate and detail-oriented protective order/injunction against harassment appeals attorney.  Please call LisaLaw, LLC or fill out the online form for a free case review.
