Resources for people involved in a workplace violence restraining order case

Legal resources

• Find your court

  Find information about where you can file or respond.

• Find a Self-Help Center

  Staff may be able to give you legal information and help with your forms.

• Find an attorney who can give you advice or represent you in court.

• Find a mediator

  If it's safe, you can try resolving your case with the help of a mediator. A mediator is a neutral person who is trained to help people resolve disputes. You do not have to participate in mediation, but if you do and aren't able to reach an agreement, you can still go to court and have a judge make a decision. Your court may offer mediation. Check your court's website for more information.
