Protective orders and court help

What happens if I am accused of violating a restraining or protective order?

An accusation can lead to investigation, arrest, criminal charges, contempt proceedings or new release restrictions, depending on the order and local law. It does not establish guilt. Follow every current order, avoid prohibited contact and obtain criminal-defense advice promptly. Preserve the complete order, notice records and original evidence. A protected person’s invitation does not itself change the order. Attend every required court date and have counsel assess the alleged act, your knowledge, the required mental state and any separate federal or state offense.

Criminal defense and court help

I have been charged with assault or battery—what happens, what penalties are possible, and how can I defend the charge?

In California, check the exact charge, follow your court dates and release or protective orders, preserve original evidence, and arrange a criminal defense lawyer. Assault can occur without contact; battery can involve harmful or offensive touching without injury. Basic assault and battery carry different fines, while weapons, serious injury, domestic relationships and other facts can bring more serious charges. The prosecution must prove the offense beyond reasonable doubt. Self-defense depends on immediate danger, reasonable beliefs and the amount of force used; it is not an automatic answer to every fight.

Arrest, custody and defense help

A family member has been arrested—how do I find them, understand the charges, and help them get a lawyer or bail review?

Start with the arresting agency and the official jail or custody system for the place of arrest. Confirm the person’s identity, location, booking number, listed charges, responsible court and next appearance. Ask promptly how they can obtain a criminal defense lawyer or request appointed counsel if eligible. Keep case details off ordinary jail calls and messages. Tell the facility about urgent health needs. Ask counsel about release, conditions and any available review: there is no single nationwide bail rule. Verify every payment request independently.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Legal Hotline in United States

Is Legal Hotline available in the United States now?
Yes — Legal Hotline is live across the United States. Call 1-844-690-0555 any hour, free, for legal information tailored to your state. It's information, not legal advice, and it creates no attorney-client relationship.
Is there a free 24/7 legal advice line in the US?
There is no national, government-run line giving legal advice around the clock in the United States — the free help that exists is situation-specific and mostly runs in office hours. If you are charged with a crime and cannot afford a lawyer, the court will appoint one, but that right attaches to your case rather than to a phone line at 2am. Civil legal aid funded by the Legal Services Corporation is free but income-eligible, varies by state and does not cover criminal matters; LawHelp.org, law school clinics and state bar referral services help with civil problems during business hours. Legal Hotline fills that gap: a free, private, 24/7 legal information line on 1-844-690-0555 for any legal question, in any state. It gives legal information, not legal advice — and a $195 one-hour consultation with a licensed US attorney can be booked right on the call.
Does Legal Hotline cover all 50 states?
Yes. Our AI is trained on both federal law and the laws of all 50 states. When you call, tell us your state and everything is tailored to the law that applies to you.
What hours is Legal Hotline available in the United States?
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — across all US time zones. There is no after-hours.
How does Legal Hotline connect me with a US attorney?
If you want an attorney, you can book a one-hour phone consultation with an expert US attorney right on the call — we text you a secure payment link while you're on the line. Your enquiry details are passed on so you don't have to start from scratch.
How much does a consultation with a US attorney cost?
$195 — a fixed fee for a one-hour phone consultation with a licensed US attorney, confirmed before you pay, with no surprises. The legal information line itself is always free.
