Whether you need protection or have been served with a petition, a harassment restraining order (HRO) or order for protection (OFP) can affect your home, your family, your job, and your right to possess firearms. Attorney Nathan M. Hansen represents both petitioners and respondents in Minnesota HRO and OFP cases.
Protective Orders
Seeking a Harassment Restraining Order or Order for Protection
If you are being harassed, threatened, stalked, or abused, we can help you prepare the petition, gather evidence, and present your case at the hearing. An order for protection is for domestic abuse by a family or household member or someone you have dated. A harassment restraining order covers harassment by anyone, including neighbors, coworkers, and former friends.
Served With a Petition? Defending Against an HRO or OFP
An ex parte order can be issued before you have a chance to respond, and a final order can stay on your record for years. It can restrict where you live, limit contact with your children, and bar you from possessing firearms. Violating an order is a crime. We can request a hearing, challenge the allegations, cross-examine witnesses, and work toward dismissal or an agreement that protects your interests.
Hearings, Violations, and Related Criminal Charges
We handle contested hearings, motions to modify or dismiss orders, and criminal charges for alleged violations of an HRO, OFP, or domestic abuse no contact order (DANCO).
