Our legal advocacy program provides our clients with information concerning victim rights, filing a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) and accompaniment to TPO-related court proceedings. Our legal advocacy office is located in the Cobb County Courthouse and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to assist victims of family violence and stalking in obtaining TPOs. The TPO office sees an average of 60 – 80 individuals per week seeking court assistance. A TPO is a legal document issued by the court to help victims obtain protection from persons abusing or stalking them. This order will generally state that one person is prohibited from having contact with another person and may even remove or restrict someone from a certain place or residence.
