    Hear From Our Clients

    I want to thank Ms. Johnson-Norris, especially, for all her help during this difficult time. When we could not see the end of the tunnel, she helped us and guided us through the exit. Thank her not only for her professional help but for her emotional and sympathetic support. God bless her.

    Parent of a juvenile crime client

    Ms. Johnson-Norris has been a ‘guardian angel’ in our case from the first second we spoke. She’s dedicated such intense time and detail into making sure everything is handled perfectly. Our case has not been finished (yet), and we’re just in the initial stages, but we are already extremely confident in her abilities. Our case is extremely sensitive in nature, but Ms. Johnson-Norris has shown compassion, composure, and extensive knowledge, which is always super comforting. I can say with certainty that Ms. Johnson-Norris will handle our legal needs from the beginning to the end. Also, Ms. Johnson-Norris is really easy to get ahold of. She returns phone calls and/or emails very quickly, which is also a very comforting factor, and something I wanted to point out about her.

    Jill, a Juvenile client

    I really appreciate everything she has done for me; I cannot thank her enough! Ms. Johnson-Norris did an absolutely thorough job by answering any and all questions that I had. She called me with updates and preferences on how I should be handling the case, which made the whole process very reassuring. The staff was very up to date with all of the follow-up information that was involved with my case that was also extremely beneficial. Ms. Johnson-Norris had a very reassuring aspect about her that made it very easy to let her handle the case. If anything were to go wrong with anyone I am associated with, she will be the lawyer of choice. I really appreciate everything that she has done for me, I can not thank her enough!

    Mr. D., a criminal defense client

    Lauren Johnson-Norris was not only responsive, she was compassionate and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her. She negotiated with the district attorney and brought the case to a win/win.

    Shannon, a Criminal Defense client

    Ms. Johnson-Norris was recommended to me by many sources. She was the perfect fit, financially and professionally. I did what she told me to do to get the best possible resolution and it definitely paid off. I would recommend Lauren Johnson-Norris to anyone and am truly grateful for her services. She gave me peace of mind in some bad times. Thanks, Ms. Johnson-Norris!

    Restraining Orders FAQs

    What are the primary types of restraining orders in California?

    Whether you are facing a Civil Harassment order or require a domestic violence defense for parents, our firm intervenes to ensure that specific, court-ordered prohibitions do not strip you of your personal autonomy or parental rights.

    How does an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) differ from a Permanent Order?

    To prevent these from becoming a Permanent Restraining Order (PRO), which can last up to three years, we deploy an aggressive defense at the evidentiary hearing to challenge the underlying allegations before they become part of the record.

    What constitutes violating a no-contact order under Penal Code 273.6?

    We provide the authoritative oversight necessary to expose these inconsistencies and shield you from the misdemeanor or felony penalties associated with a conviction.

    Is the modification of protective orders possible after they are issued?

    Yes. A restraining order is not necessarily static. We specialize in the modification of protective orders, advocating to transform restrictive “no-contact” terms into “peaceful contact” provisions. This is a critical component of a domestic violence defense for parents, as it allows for the restoration of household stability and the preservation of professional standing while the legal process unfolds.

    What is the most effective way to challenge a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)?

    By presenting high-caliber evidence and cross-examining the petitioner’s narrative, we aim to prevent the court from issuing a permanent order, thereby insulating your legacy from a public record of abuse or harassment.
