What and Who are Orders of Protection For?

If you are a victim of abuse, stalking, violet threats or harassment, orders of protection are for you. Not only do orders of protection help keep your abusers away, but they also end continued harassment through the threat of legal consequences. If you’re still unsure if orders of protection are suitable for your situation, here are examples of orders of protection Borsberry Law has assisted with before:

• Assault – Verbal threats or threatening gestures
• Battery – Abuse via physical contact
• Online Harassment – Disparaging remarks on social media, text messages, or other chat platforms
• Threats or Intimidation – It is against the law to prevent a victim from reporting abuse
• Harassment – Destruction of property, repeated hang-up calls, verbal abuse, etc.
• Stalking – Unwanted visits to your home, workplace, or school. Receiving unwanted phone calls and gifts. Following you around
• Sexual Violence – Any violent or non-consensual sexual act

However, don’t think someone is safe from orders of protection in East Peoria IL because they happen to be related or barely know you. No matter the individual, if they have engaged in abuse, stalking or harassment against you, they can be prohibited from engaging with you directly or through third parties via orders of protection.

Representation for the Accused

In addition to helping individuals secure orders of protection, we assist those who believe orders of protection were wrongly leveled against them.
