A: 

If you are being abused, you should contact your local police agency to file a report. The police agency may assist you in obtaining an emergency protective order. If there are no pending criminal charges, you may choose to consult a private attorney. If you no not have an attorney, you can call the Law Referral Service which is operated by the Orange County Bar Association at (949) 440-6700. The Domestic Violence Assistance Program located at the Lamoreaux Justice Center in the City of Orage may be able to assist you in obtaining a domestic violence restraining order. Their phone number is (714) 935-7956. If criminal charges are pending against your husband/wife, etc., the OCDA generally requests a criminal protective order pending resolution of the case or as a part of a defendant's sentencing.
