Helping You Understand Personal Protection Orders

When threats dim your sense of security, Michigan law offers a powerful shield called a Personal Protection Order (PPO). Your safety is not just a legal matter – it is a fundamental right that demands swift, strategic legal action.

At Daudi & Kroll, P.C., we are a dedicated legal team rooted in Michigan, with offices in Okemos and Canton. With a determination to protect our clients and their interests, we bring a steady hand to issues involving PPOs, thereby serving clients across the state with care and dependability.

What Is A PPO?

A Personal Protection Order is a court-issued document that orders someone to stop harmful behavior toward you. It is a legal boundary protecting you from:

  • Domestic violence
  • Stalking
  • Harassment
  • Threats of physical harm
  • Unwanted contact

Once issued, it must be personally delivered to them – by someone other than you – to take effect. Violations of PPOs can lead to serious consequences like arrest or fines.

Types Of PPOs In Michigan

The three primary types of PPOs include:

  • Domestic relationship PPO: Targets a spouse, ex-spouse, dating partner, co-parent or current/former housemate from whom you need protection.
  • Nondomestic stalking PPO: Targets stalking or harassment by a nondomestic person, like a co-worker or acquaintance.
  • Nondomestic sexual assault PPO: Protects against sexual assault or threats by someone not in a domestic relationship with you.

Each type of PPO has specific requirements and legal standards. As your attorney, we can help determine which PPO is best for your situation and assist you in filing the necessary documents to protect yourself.

How To Get A PPO

Getting a PPO involves filing a request with the court and explaining why you need protection. While it is possible to do this alone, the process can be high tension and better suited to have a neutral party assisting. Our lawyers handle every step – crafting your case, filing papers and helping ensure it is done right.
