Protective order attorney in Alpharetta for urgent family law situations
Safety and legal clarity
Family violence cases move fast. Georgia protective orders can set boundaries, limit contact, and address temporary custody or residence use. Whether you need protection or must respond to allegations, early legal guidance matters.
MEINCKE | HOUSTON FAMILY LAW assists clients in Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, and across North Fulton with respectful, focused representation in protective order matters.
Seeking a protective order
We help you prepare a detailed petition, present evidence, and request temporary relief when needed. A judge may issue an immediate ex parte order, then schedule a hearing within weeks. We represent you through that hearing and seek orders that address your situation fully.
Defending against allegations
Protective orders can affect custody, employment, and reputation. If the order is based on false or exaggerated claims, we build a defense grounded in records, witnesses, and a clear factual timeline.
