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 a temporary restraining order (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 TRO is essentially a trial without a jury. 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 that attorney Pflaum 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 a strong 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
