Survivor of domestic abuse secured five-year restraining order

Client(s) LG

On October 19, 2026, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kimberly Repecka granted a five-year restraining order to a Jones Day client (LG). The client was referred to Jones Day from the Survivor Justice Center, after she obtained a TRO and the abuser hired counsel. The Jones Day team presented a compelling case for a permanent restraining order during a two-day evidentiary hearing, which caused the abuser to stipulate to a five-year restraining order, sole legal and physical custody of the minor children to our client, required attendance at anger management classes, and a favorable visitation schedule for our client. In accepting the stipulation, Judge Repecka noted that LG's testimony plainly met her burden that she was the victim of domestic violence, and endorsed all aspects of the stipulation. The client was extremely grateful to Jones Day for guiding her through this difficult process.
