Our experienced PFA lawyers in Lancaster County, PA are dedicated to assisting victims of abuse by navigating the complexities of Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders, providing comprehensive legal support whether you are seeking protection or defending against a PFA order.
A Protection From Abuse order is a legal injunction issued by the court to prevent further abuse. PFAs are designed to provide victims with legal recourse against abusers, including prohibiting the abuser from entering the victim’s home, contacting or harassing the victim, and, in many cases, temporarily restricting the abuser’s rights, such as firearm possession. These orders are crucial for ensuring the safety of individuals in abusive situations and can also have significant implications for child custody and other legal matters.
You can seek a PFA if you have a specific relationship with the abuser, which includes:

Adults or emancipated minors can file for protection orders. If the victim is a minor, a parent, adult household member, or guardian ad litem can file on behalf of the child. It is essential for those affected to understand their rights and the legal protections available to them.
In situations where abuse has occurred, our first priority is your immediate safety. Our PFA lawyers advise you to contact the police or call 911 if you are in immediate danger. Our legal team is prepared to provide rapid assistance in filing for a PFA, ensuring that protective measures are put in place as quickly as possible.
