PFAs Attorneys
If you are a victim of abuse in the Poconos, MHK Attorneys is here to help you secure a Protection from Abuse (PFA) order and protect your safety. PFAs are legal tools designed to prevent further harm by ordering the abuser to stay away from you, your children, and your home. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through the process to ensure you receive the protection you need.
Understanding PFAs
A Protection from Abuse (PFA) order is a court-issued order that provides legal protection to individuals who are victims of abuse. This can include physical violence, threats, harassment, or emotional abuse. A PFA can require the abuser to stay away from the victim, their residence, and their place of employment, and it can also include temporary custody arrangements for children. PFAs are critical for ensuring the safety of victims and providing a legal avenue for them to escape an abusive situation.
Legal Rights for Victims of a Abuse in the Poconos
In Pennsylvania, victims of abuse can file for a PFA order with the help of an attorney or through self-representation. The order can be temporary or final, and it can offer protection for the victim and their children, ensuring that the abuser cannot contact or approach them. MHK Attorneys will assist you in gathering evidence, filing for the PFA, and attending hearings to secure the order and any additional protections you may need.
