Protection From Abuse

Protection From Abuse representation from the firm's Huntsville and Moulton offices for matters connected with Madison, Limestone, Morgan, Lawrence, and Colbert Counties, Alabama.

A Protection From Abuse (PFA) order is meant to ensure the safety of you and possibly a loved one through court involvement and oversight.

As a defendant, a PFA may impact your rights with respect to visitation with your children, an ongoing divorce or custody action, your right to own a firearm, and possible criminal charges stemming from the initial allegations or a subsequent violation of a PFA order.

Autrey Law Firm provides guidance and advocacy focused on the evidence, applicable law, safety concerns, and legal rights involved in each matter.
