Civil Protection Orders in Colorado

When safety, peace of mind, and your rights are at stake, Davis Law provides experienced and compassionate legal representation in civil protection order cases throughout Colorado. Whether you need protection or have been served with a protection order, our attorneys understand what’s at risk — and we’re here to guide you through every step.

A Civil Protection Order (CPO) — often called a restraining order — is a court order designed to protect a person from threats, harassment, stalking, or physical harm. In Colorado, a protection order can be issued on a temporary basis (a Temporary Protection Order, or TPO) and, if the court finds ongoing need, converted into a Permanent Protection Order (PPO) after a hearing.

Protection orders can restrict contact, communication, or proximity between parties, and can include conditions such as:

• Staying away from a home, workplace, or school
• No phone calls, texts, or electronic contact
• Surrender of firearms
• Temporary custody or parenting time restrictions
   

Violating a protection order is a serious offense that can result in arrest, fines, or jail time.

Under Colorado law, anyone who has been the victim of domestic abuse, stalking, sexual assault, or threats of harm may petition the court for protection. Civil protection orders can apply to current or former partners, family members, roommates, neighbors, or even acquaintances — depending on the circumstances.

At Davis Law, we represent clients on both sides of protection order cases.

We will help you:

• File the appropriate petition quickly and accurately
• Gather evidence such as messages, photos, or witness statements
• Represent you at the hearing to ensure your safety and voice are protected
• Request necessary provisions, such as custody or firearm restrictions
   

We understand that being accused or served with a CPO can have immediate and serious consequences — including limits on seeing your children or entering your home. 

We will:

• Explain the terms of the order and what you can and cannot do
• Build your defense for the hearing
• Present evidence and testimony on your behalf
• Work to prevent the order from becoming permanent
   

Our firm combines knowledge of Colorado family and civil law with a practical, results-oriented approach. Protection order hearings move fast — and having an experienced attorney can make the difference between a temporary restriction and a lasting court order that affects your future.

We approach every case with:
