How Do Restraining Orders Work in California?

Restraining orders, commonly known as protective orders, offer immediate protection by mandating that the restrained person remains a certain distance away at all times. Thanks to powerful interstate cooperation laws, they can also be enforced in other jurisdictions across the United States. This eliminates any loopholes and ensures seamless protection if, for example, an abusive ex-partner finds out you’re taking your children out of state and attempts to stalk you.

In the State of California, the process of applying for a restraining order is quite simple. However, it’s always recommended that you have a qualified restraining order attorney who can aid in the initial filing process. After you have filed for your restraining order, a court official will review its merits. If the order is approved, the involved parties will be notified, and protections will go into place immediately.

The Varying Types of Protection Orders in California

There are various types of protective orders available in California. The type of restraining order that is most effective for you will depend on multiple factors, such as the kind of harassment you’re facing and who the restrained person is. It’s essential that you file for the right kind of order to ensure you do not lose your chance for protection.

The following are common protective orders in Redding:

Domestic Violence Restraining Order – For those facing threats or violence from a spouse, partner, or close family member, a domestic violence restraining order is a powerful legal tool that strictly limits the abuser’s ability to contact their victim without facing serious legal penalties. It may also mandate that the restrained person stays a certain distance away at all times. Otherwise, they may be charged with a crime.
Workplace Restraining Order – A special type of restraining order is available for those facing abuse or harassment in the workplace, whether the perpetrator is a supervisor, co-worker, contractor, vendor, or some other party who can use their workplace-based access to you as an avenue to cause harm.
Elder Abuse Restraining Order – While people often think about restraining orders in the context of stalking or romantic partnerships gone wrong, they are designed to protect anyone at risk of harm and abuse. This means a restraining order can also help protect senior citizens from harm and dangerous behaviors that put them at risk.
Civil Harassment Restraining Order – If you are facing credible threats, physical attacks, or persistent harassment from another individual, and your situation does not fit one of the types of restraining orders outlined above, you can protect yourself with the more general Civil Harassment restraining order.

On May 4, 2018, Attorneys of Eric Alan Berg and Associates successfully suppressed evidence in a DUI case resulting in a complete dismissal. The client had been pulled over on a Friday night leaving the Market Street Steakhouse. A Redding police officer claimed that his tail light was out and initiated a traffic stop. Unbeknownst to the officer, the car had just passed a safety inspection a few weeks before. The defense subpoenaed the inspection records and called the technician who serviced the car to testify to explain that the light was working properly, and called an eye witness who saw that the light was in working condition the morning after the arrest. The client can now return to work without fear of any license restrictions, probation, or punishment.

DUI Dismissal

A man in his 60’s was charged with molesting and sodomizing five boys in a 35 year period. The sheriffs detective knew at least one of the boys had recanted but he hid the tape recording wherein the boy said it never happened. The district attorney had to search the sheriff’s computer himself to find the tape showing the man’s innocence and showing that the boy said he was innocent.

False accusation of multiple molestation

We represented an old man who was accused of sexually molesting his girl friend’s daughter. The prosecutor claimed that he confessed on tape. The defense showed that it was no confession. Many of the jurors found the defendant not guilty. The defendant eventually avoided state prison and was freed.

False accusation of molestation of girl friends daughter

Our client was a probation officer and was charged with sexually molesting his neighbor and his adopted foster daughter. The defense showed that his daughter had a long history of falsely accusing people of serious crimes. The defense also presented the daughters long history of mental illness. The defense also showed that the police lost a crucial recorded statement of another complaining witness. Many jurors found the accused innocent of the charges and the court dismissed the charges after the first trial.

False accusation of adopted child molestation

Our client was charged with sexually molesting his adopted step-daughter. The district attorney claimed that he had a confession on tape. The defense showed that it was not a confession but a set up. Many jurors found the defendant not guilty and the court dismissed all of the charges. In that case, the accuser originally accused our client of molesting her for many months. The district attorney tried to change the story when we proved that he wasn’t even in town when these crimes supposedly occurred.

False accusation of molestation of step daughter

We defended two Hells Angels accused of rape. At the trial we proved that the accuser exchanged her phone number with one of the other old bikers at the clubhouse, a few minutes after the alleged rape. Through our investigation, we learned that the accuser, a young woman in her early twentys had borrowed her father’s car for the night. She returned it late, making him late for work in the morning. She needed a good excuse. The excuse she used was that she had been raped by two Hells Angels.

False accusation of rape

An old man in his 70’s was charged with threatening 2 sheriff deputies with his Chinese assault rifle . This man was a famous newspaper editor and publisher in the county. He was a regular critic of the Sheriff. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. On Christmas Eve, he and his wife had been burning rat’s nests on his property in Hayfork. As the fire got out of control and spread prisoners from the local fire camp were called to put it out. They were up all night making noise and causing his dog to bark which kept him and his wife and his dog awake on Christmas eve. He went down to the prisoners and told them to be quiet and then went back home.

False accusation of threatening of Sheriff Police.

Marijuana Transportation Case Dismissed

Before retaining us, our client had a number of pending cases, and some matters being investigated by law enforcement. They took a plea bargain in which they plead guilty to three of their pending cases, with the understanding that the rest of their pending cases would be dismissed and any un-filed cases would not be filed. Shortly after entering this agreement, the DA’s office filed charges related to an investigation that began before they entered the agreement. We successfully argued that the DA’s office breached the plea agreement, and had the plea agreement enforced – meaning the new case was dismissed.
