Last-Minute Miracle: Accepted My Restraining Order Case Days Before Trial and and Won

I found myself in an absolutely terrifying situation. My original attorney withdrew at the final possible moment, leaving me to face a restraining-order trial against my abusive husband with virtually no time remaining and no legal representation. I was panicked and certain that I would be forced to represent myself.

A trusted professional colleague urgently recommended that I contact Timothy Riley. I now understand why.

From the moment I telephoned his office, every staff member treated me with exceptional kindness, genuine compassion, and the highest degree of professionalism. They scheduled an immediate consultation and calmed my fears when I could barely speak.

Attorney Timothy Riley accepted my case on extraordinarily short notice. In a matter of days, he plowed through my evidence folder, police reports, text messages, and witness statements. Fewer than twelve hours before the trial began, he personally met with my daughter—our only remaining witness—and prepared her testimony with remarkable care and precision. Her statement would constitute the final and most decisive evidence presented to the judge.

Despite an almost impossible deadline, he entered the courtroom completely composed. He never raised his voice. Every word was measured, precise, and exactly on point. The moment he began to speak, it was as though someone had flipped a switch; the entire courtroom saw the truth at once. The judge granted the full restraining order.

For the first time in years, my daughter and I can breathe. We feel safe. Timothy Riley Law did not merely represent me; the firm saved my daughter and me when every other option had vanished.

If you are experiencing domestic violence and require a restraining-order attorney who prepares as though your life depends on the outcome—because it does—and who combines meticulous preparation with relentless determination and authentic compassion, retain Timothy Riley without hesitation. I recommend him wholeheartedly and without any reservation.

Words cannot adequately express my gratitude.

I could not have chosen a better law firm for legal representation! Tim and Lynda were exceptionally knowledgeable, very communicative and well practiced! I was referred to them through the San Diego Bar Association. They helped me protect myself from landlord harassment and bring it to a stop. I’m truly pleased and fortunate to have been able to have been represented by Tim and Lynda. I absolutely recommend you give them a call when you’re in need!
