Verdicts & Settlements

FINAL RESTRAINING ORDER SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED TO THE APPELLATE DIVISION AND NJ SUPREME COURT

An adult daughter filed a Domestic Violence Complaint against her father, alleging the predicate offenses of stalking and harassment. With the help of one of our family law attorneys, the 28 year old prevailed at trial and obtained a Final Restraining Order against her father.  The father appealed to the Appellate Division, alleging that the trial judge erred in finding (a) that the daughter presented sufficient facts to prove stalking and harassment; and (b) that there was a need for a Final Restraining Order.

Our appeals attorneys successfully defended the trial court’s entry of the FRO by demonstrating that the facts submitted below established that the father committed the offenses, and that his pattern of repeating the bad conduct over a course of several years evidenced that the behavior would continue in the absence of a FRO.  After losing in the Appellate Division, the father asked the Supreme Court of New Jersey to hear this case.  Our appeals attorneys opposed that application, and the Supreme Court of New Jersey declined review of the matter.
