A Trusted Advocate When You Need It Most

Attorney David Heiman brings over three decades of experience in family law and a long track record of helping clients affected by domestic violence. At Heiman Law Firm, we don’t treat these cases lightly.

If you need a protective order or restraining order, we’ll help you understand the differences and guide you through the process. Protective orders in Texas are issued by a civil court and can prevent an abuser from contacting you, entering your home, or threatening your children. Restraining orders may be used in family law cases to prohibit harmful behavior during ongoing legal proceedings.

When your safety, rights, or reputation are at stake, you need a legal advocate who acts fast, understands the law, and genuinely cares about the outcome. 

We provide:

  • Experienced help with protective and restraining orders
  • Court representation during high-stakes hearings
  • Legal support for custody and divorce involving abuse claims
  • Clear, compassionate communication throughout the process
  • Respectful, discreet handling of sensitive details

We’re not here to judge—we’re here to help you confidently take the next step

Common Questions About Domestic Violence Cases

People facing domestic violence—whether as victims or accused parties—often have urgent questions and concerns.

Here are a few we regularly address:

  • Can I stay in the home during a divorce?
    In some cases, yes. A protective order can keep the abusive party out of the shared residence.
  • How long does a protective order last?
    Temporary orders can last up to 20 days; final orders may last two years or more, depending on the facts.
  • What if I’ve been falsely accused?
    We also represent individuals wrongly accused of abuse. False claims can impact custody, reputation, and rights. We’ll fight to set the record straight.
  • Can I get custody if the other parent has been abusive?
    Yes. Courts in Texas consider any history of family violence when making custody decisions.
  • What’s the difference between a protective order and a restraining order?
    Protective orders are civil court orders focused on stopping family violence or stalking; restraining orders typically address behavior during legal proceedings like divorce or custody disputes.
  • Do I need proof to file for a protective order?
    You don’t need to show physical evidence, but statements, witness accounts, or documentation can help your case.
