What is an order of protection in Arizona?

In Arizona an order of protection is the ability of one person as a plaintiff to prevent the defendant, another person, in which there is a familial relationship or a residential relationship. This order of protection will prevent the defendant from contacting the plaintiff either electronically, telephonically, in writing or in person. Essentially it is a restraining order, but in Arizona it is called an order of protection. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the State of Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

How do I get an order of protection in Arizona?

In Arizona, the process for obtaining an order of protection is quite simple. The person needs to go to the courthouse, ask the appropriate clerk or staff about how to fill up the paperwork. They will then fill out the paperwork, go before a judge, and the judge will evaluate, expartate which means individually without another person present the merits of the allegations against the defendant. If the judge or the commissioner feels that the order of protection is appropriate, they will grant the order of protection. And by rule of thumb, they will grant the order of protection more often than they will deny it. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the State of Arizona in Criminal Law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

Who should seek an order of protection in Arizona?

Undoubtedly in Arizona, a person who feels threatened by physical harm or genuinely harassed by either an ex-spouse or by an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, should seek an order of protection.

Is it possible to create an agreement to avoid an order of protection in Arizona?

Fortunately in Arizona many courts will allow parties and counsel at an evidentiary hearing on an order of protection, to speak frankly and candidly before the order of protection hearing, to determine whether or not the parties are able to settle their differences outside of court. Luckily, my office has been party, or is counsel to many parties, working out these differences and becoming people who do not have a record of an order of protection. I feel great gratification when I can bring, or our office can assist, in bringing two people of very divergent opinions together to agree not to contact one another, but do it outside of the framework of a court order.

Do orders of protection work in Arizona?

Orders of protection are very effective in Arizona. The police, and all of the sheriff's departments have databases that keep people who have orders of protection on an online database. This database can be accessed by any police agency. If a defendant breaks that order of protection, they will be arrested, and they will be booked. They will be taken down to a jail, and they will be charged with interference with judicial proceedings. If a person feels genuine and sincere danger or harassment from another individual, an order of protection is a very effective means at protecting one's self.

Can kids be placed on orders of protection in Arizona?

The most common misperception of an order of protection is that children cannot be placed on an order of protection.

Therefore if a child is placed on an order of protection, it is imperative for that person to contact a lawyer, contact my office, so that we can assist you in getting that child off of an order or protection that often times is unfortunately used as a vindictive means by one parent to prevent access to other child.

What happens when police come to your house on a domestic violence call in Arizona?

If a couple, or if a family, gets involved in a domestic violence dispute and the police are called, often times a chain of events occurs that is outside of the control of the individuals who called the police. There are many cases in which partners, spouses, etc. do not want the police to take someone to jail. But once the police have come, once the police have investigated the issue, oftentimes someone will go to jail. And by going to jail, and being charged, there are very serious consequences that need to be discussed immediately upon that happening with the client. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

What is the role of an attorney in a Domestic Violence case in Arizona?

In Arizona, handling a domestic violence matter is often tricky and fraught with various different persons who have interest in the proceeding. A victim might want to be protected but also might want to get back together with a defendant. The defendant might be prevented by terms of their release conditions from even going back to the home where a married couple had been for many, many years. Therefore the role of a defense attorney is two-fold. Its one to handle the actual criminal matter but on the other hand it to act in some sense as a counselor navigating through a process that is unfamiliar. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over the state of Arizona in crinimal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

They can often be worked through and often times the charges will be dismissed. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

What's the right type of business formation for me?

Choosing a business entity is so important when starting a business because it impacts dramatically on both the legal protection that the business entity affords and also on your tax consequences. So you have to have a competent attorney to assist you in making these decisions. Because if you don’t, then you’re going to pay more taxes then you should and you’re not going to have the protection that you need in order to properly operate the business. I’m Jeff Matsen and I’m the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel. We help people preserve, protect and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

What is workplace discrimination in New York?

Workplace discrimination in New York is governed by statute and you have been or are being discriminated against if you fall within a protected class. In New York, fortunately, the list is rather long. It includes gender, national origin, race, disability, sexual orientation. And within those categories, among others, there are subsets. New York law affords quite broad protection, but you must, however, fall within one of those categories in order to be discriminated against. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

My name is Carl Pierson, and I am a Attorney in New York State. I am admitted to the Federal and State Courts in New York State, and I have various admissions elsewhere throughout the country. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School, I graduated as the Magna Com Laudi at Long Island University, and I was the Student Council President there. My efforts for many years have been in law. I have more than forty years of litigation experience across the board in a variety of different types of matters. And I'm bringing all of that to bear on this new phenomenon, the crisis that we have in America of foreclosures. I'm trying to deal with them in the best way for the benefit of the people that are losing their homes. Because they don't have to lose their homes, there are protections. For example, New York State is not by accident the state which has the longest period of time for a foreclosure to take place. It was done deliberately in order to prevent people from being thrust out of their homes merely because the bankers are tired of having them live in their homes. So we set up obstacles, and that creates a 14 month period, roughly, for a person to be still in his home even when though he can't pay the mortgage. We've done that deliberately. In California, however, there is a non-judicial foreclosure. And they don't even go into court. When you lose your home in California, the bank puts a sign on your front lawn, they have a bus that takes people by your property, and then they sell your property. And that's a non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona, New Hampshire, California and other states. So New York is the longest state, and the best protected, the state that has the best protection for it's residents. I'm Carl Pierson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.
