One Hearing. One Chance to Be Safe.
Let me tell you about Maria (not her real name).
She came to see me two days before her final restraining order hearing.
She was terrified.
Her hands shook when she showed me the texts.
She kept asking:
“What if the judge doesn’t believe me?”
“What if I mess up on the stand?”
“What if he gets away with it again?”
And so is yours.
In New Jersey, a Final Restraining Order (FRO) is permanent.
It’s powerful — but only if the judge grants it.
To win, you need to show:
✅ The abuse happened
✅ You have a qualifying relationship
✅ You still need protection
Sounds simple? It’s not.
You only get one shot.

She left my office with a clear plan, organized evidence, and renewed strength.
And she walked out of court with a Final Restraining Order in hand.
