Protection Order Lawyer Las Vegas

Temporary Protective Orders

When safety is at risk, fast and informed action is essential. Whether you need to file for a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) or defend yourself against false allegations, Mabel Law Group provides steady, confidential, and compassionate support throughout the process.

We help clients understand their rights, gather evidence, and prepare for the hearings that follow — all with safety, clarity, and confidence in mind.

Understanding TPOs in Nevada

In Nevada, a Temporary Protective Order is a court order designed to protect individuals from:

  • Domestic violence
  • Harassment or stalking
  • Threats or intimidation
  • Abuse or endangerment
  • Other unsafe or harmful behavior

TPOs can apply to partners, family members, former spouses, co-parents, roommates, or individuals in a dating relationship.

A judge may grant a TPO without a hearing if the application presents credible concerns about safety or harm. If the TPO is granted, the court may later schedule an Extended Protective Order (EPO) hearing where both parties can present evidence.

Filing for a TPO

When petitioning for protection, clarity and detail matter. We help clients:

  • Prepare and file the TPO application
  • Gather evidence (texts, screenshots, messages, photos, police reports, etc.)
  • Present clear, safety-focused explanations
  • Navigate the transition to an Extended Protective Order if needed
  • Understand what the order covers and how to stay protected

Your safety is the priority and we move quickly to help secure protection.

Contesting False Allegations

Unfortunately, TPOs are sometimes misused to gain leverage in custody disputes or to harm someone’s reputation. Being falsely accused can feel frightening and overwhelming.

We assist clients with:

  • Responding to TPO petitions
  • Gathering evidence disproving allegations
  • Preparing testimony and witness statements
  • Presenting a strong, organized defense at hearings
  • Protecting parental rights in related custody matters

A TPO on your record can impact employment, housing, and custody  so a strong legal response is essential.

Preparing for Hearings

Most protective order cases involve at least one hearing. We guide clients through:

  • What to expect in court
  • How to prepare testimony
  • How evidence is evaluated
  • What judges look for in EPO cases
  • How the outcome may affect custody or divorce cases

Having representation helps ensure that your story is presented clearly, calmly, and effectively.

Safety Planning & Long-Term Support

Beyond court filings, we offer support with:

  • Safety planning
  • Understanding the limits and protections of an order
  • Coordinating next steps in related custody or divorce matters
  • Documenting ongoing concerns or violations
  • Knowing when to seek law enforcement support

Your safety and peace of mind matter and we’re here to help you navigate this with a grounded, steady approach.
