Protective Orders Attorney

Unfortunately, in the world we live in, we have situations that jeopardize the safety and physical welfare of parents and children.

If you or a family member, especially a child, has been a victim of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or threats of abuse, you must be aware of the protections the law in Texas affords you.

Our protective orders attorney has represented hundreds of men and women in the past 25 years that require legal protection from a spouse or other family members.

Even though a protective order will never completely guarantee that an evil act will not occur, you must take all legal precautions to secure the safety of you and your family.

What is a Protective Order

A protective order is a civil order issued to prevent continuing acts of family violence. Family violence is defined as any act by one member of a family or household intended to physically harm another member, a serious threat of physical harm, or the abuse of a child. A family includes blood relatives or relatives by marriage, former spouses, parents (married or not) of the same child, foster parents and foster children, or any member or former member of a household (people living in the same house, related or not).

How A Protective Order Helps

Our law firm will provide the necessary court order to get a protective order for our clients which will prohibit the offender from:

  1. Committing further acts of family violence.
  2. Harassing or threatening the victim, either directly or indirectly by communicating the threat through another person.
  3. Going to or near a school or day-care center that a child protected under the order attends.

In some situations, a protective order may also include orders to prohibit transfer or disposal of property, establish possession and visitation of a child, pay child or spousal support, pay for your attorney’s fees, attend mandatory counseling, vacate the residence, if certain conditions are met. A person who violates may be taken to civil court, found in contempt, fined, and jailed.

Can I Get One?

If the court finds that family violence has occurred and is likely to occur again, the court shall render a protective order. To obtain a protective order, the victim and the offender must be (1) related by blood or marriage, (2) living together, or previously lived together, or (3) have a child together. Consult with an attorney even if you are not sure you meet the requirements for a protective order. Risking the lives of your loved ones is something everyone should take very seriously.

Client Testimonials

I contacted attorney Roland Barbosa after one of my work colleagues highly recommended him for a divorce case. He was not at his office when I contacted him. However, his legal assistant, I believe her name is Marie, talked to me about 20 minutes telling me about the divorce process and details about what I should expect going thru a divorce. I have no children; however, my husband and I have accumulated a lot of retirement funds and rental properties. I left my number and email address. Roland contacted me later that day regarding my situation. He was so experienced in these type of matters. I was so comfortable telling him about my situation. He was so patient listening to my story. I never expected a high profile attorney to be so patient with a potential client. After listening patiently to me for over 30 minutes, he explained in detail what would have to be filed and what to expect in Court. I never expected an attorney to take so much of his time to go over all the details of my case. I had called other lawyers but they never called me back. The one that did call me back, took 2 minutes talking to me. He then told me I needed $500 to go in to speak with him. Mr. Barbosa is really a peoples’ lawyer! I hired Mr. Barbosa. He was not the cheapest lawyer I had spoke with. But in the end, it was worth it to have such a professional, experienced, courteous and very well dressed attorney on my side. THANK YOU MR. BARBOSA…I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID FOR ME!​

I called attorney Barbosa for issues I was having with an unfaithful spouse. Mr. Barbosa spoke and advised me over the phone for over 30 minutes with no charge to me. He did and said everything I expect an honest lawyer to say. I am so glad that there are still attorneys out there who are not in the business just FOR THE MONEY! I eventually hired attorney Barbosa. He was the best attorney for my case. I am so happy with the outcome of my case. I would not call any other attorney for legal assistance. Mr. Barbosa has been practicing for over 30 years and I can tell you that he is not there to take your money. He is there to help you because I believe he loves what he does for a living. I have had other bad experiences with attorneys. I am so glad attorney Barbosa is the exception and the best choice for people who are really struggling with their legal problems.

Roland Barbosa was referred to me by one of my colleagues at work. I am a registered nurse with Baylor Hospital so my time is very valuable and I did not want to waste my time and money looking for an experienced family law attorney. I called Mr. Barbosa and spoke with him for almost 30 minutes about my situation. I was so glad that he would take his time to speak with me over the phone and not have me go in to his office. He was so informative and honest about what he advised me to do and especially not do in my situation. I can not begin to thank Roland for the help he gave me without charging me over the phone. I set up an in office meeting with him about a week later. He met me at his office on a Saturday which was the only day I could meet him. His legal assistant, Marie, was so nice and helpful in getting all the paperwork copied so Mr. Barbosa could have all my documents when he met me. I met with the attorney and we discuss all options available to me once we filed my divorce/custody case. He was extremely honest and experienced in that I could expect in my case. He told me things that I had never thought about before I decided to file. We had a large estate and 3 children so I wanted the best and most experienced attorney I could get for a reasonable fee. Roland was the perfect match for my needs. He took me one step at a time thru my difficult case explaining the options at each step of the way. We finally get a very favorable ruling from the judge after 8 months of fighting the case in court. I can not tell you how lucky I was to have hired Roland Barbosa. I could have NEVER gotten what I received had it not been for my attorney. His experience, his professionalism, and his honesty are the BEST! Roland, I hope you read this review because I intend to refer anyone and everyone that needs an honest and experienced attorney!!!!! God bless you!

I have used the Barbosa Law Firm twice for my divorces. I will always go back to using Roland Barbosa as my attorney. He has always been very aggressive in representing me in court AND he is very affordable. He has always allowed my to go on a payment plan. He has been practicing law for over 25 years so I trust him with all his advise about my cases. He has NEVER let me down. I have used other attorneys for different legal matters and some do not call you back or even return your email questions. Roland has never ignored me or my case. If I have to get ahold of him, all I have to do is email him or call his office or his cell phone. I will always tell my friends and family to contact Mr. Barbosa before hiring any other attorney. THANK YOU ROLAND!!!!!

I am so happy! Attorney Barbosa divorced me this morning!!! He was so nice and attentive. I had another attorney for a previous divorce and I will tell you that Mr. Barbosa I 1000 times more intelligent and professional than my previous lawyer. I was so happy that attorney Barbosa took my case. He spent so much time explaining his services and explaining what I had to do to make sure that I was not harmed by my spouse. I did not have too much money to spend on a divorce but that was not an issues with his office because he put me on a payment plan. he was always there when I called him to ask him questions. His assistant, Marie is the best too. She is so smart. The whole office was like family with me while I went thru this divorce. I have referred my sister to him because she needs an adoption. He has already started her case and she is so happy that I send her to him. If you ever need to speak with an attorney directly, call him at his office. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. BARBOSA!!!!!
