Civil Injunction Matters

Begin with your role and the actual papers

Tell the firm whether you received a petition, a temporary order or a hearing notice, or are considering seeking an injunction. Your role in the matter affects the questions that need attention.

Yale’s practice includes civil injunction proceedings. The complete documents, any scheduled hearing and your concerns help the firm assess whether it can assist.

Preparation should be specific

Discuss the events described in the petition, what information may help explain them and what preparation is needed for the hearing. Keep messages, records and documents in their original form and ask counsel how to share them securely.

If there is a related criminal case, identify it separately and bring both sets of papers. Ask counsel about the wording of an existing order rather than relying on a general summary.

Bring what you have

• The complete petition, attachments, order and hearing notice.

• The court, case number and hearing date.

• A short timeline of the events you want to discuss.

• A list of relevant records or potential witnesses.

• Your main questions about the proceeding.

Can the callback form review my order?

No. Use the form to share contact details. Keep the order, private messages and detailed allegations for your conversation with the firm.
