Defense Lawyer Protective Order Hearings – Strategic Defense

If you’ve been served with a protective order in Maryland—whether interim, temporary, or final—you need a defense attorney who understands both the legal stakes and the personal impact. Protective orders can affect your custody rights and access to your children, housing, employment, security clearance, reputation, and even your finances. We provide effective and ethical defense designed to protect your rights and restore your stability. If you have been served with an interim or temporary protective order, you should be well defended at your Final Protective Order Hearing by our defense lawyer for protective orders. If you did not appear or lost your case at the final stage and a Final Protective Order has been entered against you, you should be represented by a skilled protective order defense lawyer to appeal the final protective order against you, or at the very least explain the terms so you do not find yourself slapped with criminal charges and/or arrest on top of a Final Protective Order

❓ Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Protective Order Defense

Can a protective order be dropped or dismissed before the hearing?

No. Even if the petitioner wants to dismiss the case, it must be done in court at the scheduled hearing. Protective orders are court-issued and cannot be withdrawn informally or by agreement outside of court. This distinction is critical for respondents who mistakenly believe the case is “over” if the petitioner changes their mind. And even a petitioner who decides to drop the case has the right to change their mind at the hearing and proceed to try to obtain a protective order.

Will a protective order affect my custody rights and/or access to  my child(ren)?

It can. We make every effort to have the protective order case against you dismissed, but we also attempt to preserve your custody and access rights even if a protective order is entered against you.  

Should I be represented by a protective order defense lawyer at my protective order hearing?

Absolutely! The stakes are high, and the rules of evidence apply. We ensure your side is heard by the Court.

Can I contact the petitioner?

Its complicated but in vast majority of cases the answer is “No.” It depends on the language of the protective order that was served on you. However, if you have protective order hearing coming up in a few days, we highly recommend against any communication with the petitioner, regardless of the language of the protective order served on you. Keep in mind that violating the order—even unintentionally—can result in arrest and/or criminal charges.
