Where I live you don't need a lawyer to get a restraining order, you can do it on your own by going to the Law Courts Building, filling out some forms, paying a filing fee and then appearing in court on the date given to you to present your case.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
