The restraining order is a judicial measure designed to protect a person against situations of risk, aggression or violence. At Soler Martín Abogados, we advise both victims who need to request protection, as well as people who have been subject to this measure and wish to exercise their legal defense. We act with speed, confidentiality and legal rigor in a particularly sensitive type of procedure.
What is a restraining order?
It is a decision issued by a judge prohibiting the defendant from approaching, communicating or cohabiting with the protected person. It can be issued as a precautionary measure (during the investigation phase) or as part of a sentence.
It is usually applied in:
Cases of gender violence or domestic violence
Situations of harassment or repeated threats
Cases of physical or psychological aggression
Conflicting separation or divorce proceedings
