Everyone deserves to feel safe and secure as they go about their daily life. If someone has been harassing you (or a minor child or adult you are responsible for) it can feel intimidating and scary. Washington state law allows you to petition a judge to grant an Antiharassment Protection Order, meaning that person isn’t allowed to contact or harm you, and any breach of that order would bring severe legal consequences.
Whether you are a victim or wrongly accused of harassment and want help to clear your name, our restraining order lawyers will fight to make sure the whole story is fairly considered by the judicial system. We know these situations can be distressing and confusing, and we endeavor to clearly explain the process and to give you peace of mind through the proceedings. Contact us today to discuss your case.
Different protection orders address different situations – Washington provides several types of civil protection orders, including anti-harassment orders and domestic violence protection orders. The appropriate option depends on the circumstances involved.
Evidence can be important – Documentation such as messages, emails, call records, photographs, witness statements, police reports, and other evidence may help support or respond to a protection order request.
Protection orders can affect family law matters – Orders involving harassment, domestic violence, or safety concerns may impact divorce proceedings, parenting plans, child custody arrangements, and other family law issues.
Experienced legal guidance matters – Protection order cases can move quickly and have significant consequences. Our Seattle family law attorneys help clients understand the process and protect their legal interests.

An anti-harassment order is a civil court order designed to protect individuals from repeated unwanted conduct, threats, intimidation, or harassment that causes substantial emotional distress or creates concerns about safety.
The appropriate type of protection order depends on the relationship between the parties and the nature of the alleged conduct. Domestic violence protection orders generally involve qualifying family or intimate relationships, while anti-harassment orders may apply in other situations.
Evidence may include text messages, emails, social media communications, photographs, videos, witness statements, police reports, or other documentation showing a pattern of harassment, threats, or concerning behavior.
