Understanding Peace Orders, Protective Orders, & Restraining Orders in Maryland
Legal Representation for Peace Orders
Peace orders are designed to protect individuals from harassment, stalking, or abuse by someone who is not a family member or intimate partner. Whether it’s a neighbor, coworker, or acquaintance, you have the right to seek legal intervention.
Legal Representation for Protective Orders
Protective orders are issued in cases involving domestic violence or abuse between family members, spouses, or intimate partners. These orders provide critical legal safeguards, including prohibiting contact, requiring the abuser to leave the shared home, and granting temporary custody of children.
Restraining Orders
Restraining orders, often used interchangeably with protective orders, are legal measures to prevent someone from engaging in harmful or threatening behavior.

Proven Results
Peace Order Dropped for Alleged Stalking

Protective Order Dismissed for Revenge Porn Accusation

The client was accused in a criminal case of posting revenge porn on a website with pictures alleged to be of his former partner. The case was dismissed partly because the images posted did not violate what the statute required.

Success Stories
Marc Emden did an excellent job supporting my case for establishing a peace order. He went out of his way to make sure I was properly prepared and provided expert advice and recommendations to make sure the peace order was finalized by the judge at the court hearing. His professionalism, in-depth knowledge, and the detailed attention he paid to my case were second to none and much better than other attorneys I’ve dealt with in the past. I would strongly recommend him to others who have similar legal matters.
Ronald
Mr. Marc Emden is definitely the best attorney and the only one I will ever recommend. He is very knowledgeable and honest. He walked me through the whole process of getting a peace order. He made sure we rehearsed what I would say in court every time, which really made me confident and comfortable. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the case and the service I got from Mr. Emden.
Adeline
I’m an attorney, but one who lacks experience with criminal or peace/protective order matters. I came across Marc’s profile when searching about the latter in MD; he had written a guide to peace and protective orders. This is usually a very good sign with a practitioner – you’re dealing with an expert! – and my hunch was rewarded after I called him and he answered on the second or third ring. As other reviews on here (including some from people who have known him for decades) note, he’s a skilled lawyer and expert negotiator. His expertise with peace orders led to an optimal outcome in that case and almost certainly resulted in an extremely positive result a few months later in a related case. Marc is the real deal: reasonable, prompt, efficient, smart, manages expectations, holds himself to high standards, and wants to achieve the best outcome for each client.
Oliver
From the very first conversation I had with him I knew he was the one who had to represent me in my case. He was very dedicated and knowledgeable, he worked very hard to ensure I was satisfied with the outcome of my case and I sure was! I had a peace order against me and that was dismissed thanks to Mr. Emden’s expertise.
Lisseth
Marc provided outstanding service. He was thorough and made us feel comfortable and confident in our case. I would highly recommend especially if you’re in need of a lawyer to fight a peace or restraining order. Thanks, Marc! I would use him again if ever needed.
