Protective Orders & Peace Orders Maryland and Virginia
Let Our Attorneys Fight For You!
At Salvado, Salvado & Salvado P.C., we are committed to ensuring that
our clients are protected at all times. In the event that you feel as
though your safety is in question, we can work toward obtaining a protective
order on your behalf. There are two main types of orders in Maryland:
protective orders and peace orders. While protective orders are often
placed against family members, peace orders are put in place if you have
a violent friend or neighbor that is compromising your safety. If you
fit into either of these categories, it is vital that you reach out to
our Rockville attorneys immediately.
The three levels of protective orders include the following:
- Interim order
- Temporary order
- Final order
During the interim order stage, the victim has the opportunity to seek
help from the court, without the abuser’s knowledge. A temporary
order is heard by the court and can turn into a final order if allowed
by the courts. At this point, the alleged abuser may give a defense and
a decision is made. To find out more about protective orders or to speak
