Depending upon the actual wording of the complaint, because of our experience and familiarity with the exact statutes that control these cases, in some instances, we have been able to file documents with the court to get the case dismissed prior to going to court.

Filing documents with a court is meaningless without incorporating the specific legal authorities, specific words or phrases into the documents prior to filing. Busy trial judges who hear many different types cases may not be as knowledgeable as a dedicated protective order, peace order or ex parte lawyer. Each case is different and past records are no assurance that the Lawyer will reach a favorable result in any future case.

"He who represents himself has a fool for a client" "Abraham Lincoln"

This quotation is especially true in peace order or protective order cases. The worst mistake that can be made is to go to court without a lawyer who has specific knowledge what legal authorities need to be presented to the court prior to the court making any decision.

Because all appeals are time consuming and expensive, having to file an appeal to attempt to reverse a court decision is extremely time consuming and can be expensive, it is highly advisable to have a dedicated peace order attorney at your trial which is far less expensive than having to file a time consuming appeal to attempt to reverse court's decision.

***If you are a victim of a case that was dismissed without probable cause, we may be able institute a suit against the person who sued you to enable you to recover damages.***
