Arlington Heights Civil No-Contact Orders Attorney

Domestic Violence Protection Lawyer Serving Clients in Arlington Heights, IL

A civil no-contact order is similar to an order of protection in Illinois. There are two types of civil no-contact orders. An emergency order lasts from 14-21 days, while a long-term civil no-contact order can last up to 2 years. Once those 2 years have passed, it is possible to ask for an extension for up to 2 more years.

Unlike an order of protection, where there has to be some form of relationship present, a civil no-contact order is for people who were not in a relationship with the offender.

If you feel you or a member of your family is in danger of physical or psychological harm, we can help you seek a civil no-contact order through the Cook County, DuPage County and Lake County courts. At Cosley Law Office, our Arlington Heights, IL civil no-contact order lawyer can inform you of your rights and take measures to protect you from continued harassment or violence.

Who Can Request a Civil No-Contact Order in Illinois?

Just like an order of protection, a civil no-contact order may be modified to be specific for each client or based on a change in circumstance. A parent is also able to request a civil no-contact order on behalf of a minor child or an adult who, because of disability, health or inaccessibility, cannot file a petition.

Attorney Donald Cosley can assist you in filling out and filing the civil no-contact order at the courthouse. For more than 25 years, Mr. Cosley has been protecting the rights of his clients throughout Illinois.
