Ryne Sandel Presents “What Family Attorneys Should Know About Protective Orders” to the Collin County Bar Association Family Law Section

Whalen Law Office partner Ryne Sandel recently delivered a virtual presentation, “What Family Attorneys Should Know About Protective Orders,” to members of the Collin County Bar Association (CCBA) Family Law Section.
The presentation examined the legal framework governing protective orders in Texas and the practical considerations attorneys should evaluate when criminal defense and family law matters intersect.
During the program, Ryne discussed the various types of protective orders available under Texas law, the statutes that govern them, and the potential legal consequences these orders may have for individuals and families. He also addressed practical considerations for attorneys representing clients involved in protective order proceedings, including evaluating evidence, identifying potential defenses, and developing legal strategies tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
Additional topics included the relationship between protective orders and related criminal proceedings, emergency protective orders, modification of protective orders, and the importance of thoughtful planning when navigating matters involving overlapping criminal and family law issues.
Protective order proceedings often involve significant legal and personal considerations, making careful preparation, strategic analysis, and a thorough understanding of the applicable legal framework essential for attorneys representing their clients.
Whalen Law Office values opportunities to contribute to continuing legal education and to engage with fellow attorneys on legal topics affecting clients and the broader legal community throughout Texas.
