Denver Orders of Protection Attorney
Our Denver Orders of Protection Lawyers Provide the Help You Need.
When safety is at risk, whether from a spouse, a co-parent, or another family member, Colorado law allows Denver residents to request a civil protection order, sometimes on an emergency basis the same day.
We help Denver clients request protection orders when they need one, and defend against orders that were filed without adequate basis, since a protection order can affect custody and parenting time well beyond its immediate purpose.

Why Denver Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call isn’t a sales call. You’ll talk to an attorney who listens before recommending anything. We ask the questions that matter, walk you through what Colorado law actually says about your situation, and tell you what we’d do next if we were in your position.
We prepare Denver protection order cases thoroughly. Every safety situation is different, so we start with what actually happened, build a strategy around it, and document the case as we go.
A client portal that keeps you in the loop. When you hire Johnson Law Group, you get access to our Client Portal at no additional cost: real-time alerts on every case milestone, transparent billing, and a direct line to your legal team.
We’re staffed for cases that don’t fit a template. A closely held business. Executive compensation. A relocation request. An interstate jurisdiction question. Most Denver family cases do not require any of that. When yours does, that is the kind of work we know how to do.
A strategy built around what you actually need. Every case starts with your specific goals. We document the case thoroughly and prepare for every phase before it arrives, so you are in the strongest possible position when it counts.
What to Expect When You Call
Our consultation is built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
- We listen first. Tell us what is going on. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
- We explain what Colorado law says. In plain English, with no lecture and no scare tactics.
- We map your next step. You will leave knowing what comes next: filing, responding, gathering records, or taking time to think it through.

Orders of Protection FAQS
How quickly can I get a protection order in Denver?
Temporary protection orders can often be granted the same day you file, sometimes without advance notice to the other party, with a full hearing scheduled shortly after.
Where do I file for a protection order in Denver?
Civil protection orders in Denver are typically filed at the Denver County Court or Denver District Court, depending on whether a related family law case is already open.
