The Challenge
client needed protection from an ex who was secretly tracking their location and repeatedly showing up uninvited — ignoring clear boundaries. No physical violence had occurred, a reminder that protection orders also cover stalking and coercive contact.
How We Helped
Mitchell Polonsky guided the client from the first consultation through difficult conversations, keeping the child’s best interests central. As the opposing party resisted, we worked with their eventual counsel to reach mediation and avoid a costly trial.
The Outcome
Backed by the client’s records and a clear strategy, we secured a strong Domestic Violence Protection Order, and, just as importantly, real peace of mind.
