Orders of Protection in Rome, NY
An order of protection, also known as a restraining order, is a court order that prevents a certain individual from coming within a certain distance of your home, your place of work, your car, and other areas.

If you have been the victim of domestic violence, then you may benefit from this restraining order for your future.
