The recommended San Diego lawyer for a restraining order has the expertise that helps people win their case.
San Diego lawyer David Pflaum successfully defends people who receive temporary restraining order papers (a TRO) that is not justified. He skillfully represents victims of a credible threat, assault, or harassment who need the protection of a TRO.
Professional service begins with a consultation to analyze the restraining order issues and determine the best order of proof for trial. The petitioner who filed the TRO application, and the respondent who is restrained, are entitled to present their case to a judge.
These are some strategic themes the effective attorney may emphasize to advance the position of the petitioner or the respondent, depending on the client’s status in the case.
- Insufficiency of the evidence to sustain a permanent restraining order
- Wrongful motive for filing the TRO application
- Proven course of harassing conduct with credibility
- Lack of credibility of the petitioner or respondent
- Victim of a threat with corroboration
- Bias of a witness in favor of another
- Failure to carry the burden of proof
The trial is won based on an advanced knowledge of civil procedure, direct testimony, cross examination, evidence, witnesses, demonstrative exhibits, and legal argument that persuades the judge to dismiss the case, or make the TRO permanent for up to five years, as the client requests.
Experience wins: TRO trial results
