I was not granted an injunction against harassment. What are my options?

You may be able to apply for a new injunction against harassment if a new incident or threat of abuse or harassment occurs after you are denied the injunction.

If you believe the judge made an error of law, you can talk to lawyer about the possibility of an appeal. You can find basic information on our Filing an Appeal page. Generally, appeals are complicated and they may have very short deadlines for filing. You will most likely need the help of a lawyer.
