Price range: $$

It is difficult and dangerous to be a position where you are being threatened, abused, or hurt by someone else, especially when it is a person that you know. It is important to protect yourself in these situations. If you or your child are being threatened or harmed by someone you can ask the court to issue a protection order.

A protection order, commonly referred to as a restraining order, is a court order that is intended to protect the victims of alleged domestic violence. There are four different types of protection orders in Ohio:

Temporary Protection Order (TPO) — Typically issued following a divorce by a criminal court, a TPO is designed to stop the transfer of money and sale of property. Police cannot make arrests based on these orders.
Civil Protection Order (CPO) — This order is issued by a domestic relations or civil court to protect victims of domestic violence.
Criminal Protection Order — This is another order issued by the criminal courts in cases involving domestic violence or non-domestic cases involving violence or other criminal charges.
Anti-Stalking Protection Order (SPO) and Civil Stalking Protection Order (CSPO) — Both of these orders are designed to protect victims of stalking, but an SPO is issued by a criminal court and a CSPO is issued by a common pleas court.

Thank you so much for everything! I'm so damn grateful. This is exactly why I am constantly referring people to you guys. I knew the moment I walked in the door to meet Kelly, that my case was in good hands. I'm really grateful for everything.

Kelly Parks helped my mother and family with our estate planning. He was diligent, meticulous, and knowledgeable throughout the process. We give him a solid 10/10 for his services. Thank you, Parks and Meade!

I would like to share with you how wonderful my experience with Parks and Meade has been, especially with Attorney Kelly Parks. He really listens to your legal questions and tries to offer you cost-effective solutions. His demeanor is professional and courteous while also offering you the most thought-out choices. Thank you so much, Kelly.

My personal experience with Parks and Meade was amazing. Mr. Darren Meade dismissed a few of my cases and I'm already working with him again. I would highly recommend them for any legal services. They actually care about their clients!
