Restraining Order and Protective Order—What’s the Difference?

By: Andrew Weisberg Jan 20, 2015

Protective Orders | Restraining Orders

If you find yourself facing domestic violence charges, chances are that you will also be up against one of two court orders: either a restraining order or a protective order (or “order of protection”). If you’re facing either of these orders, it’s important for you to know what they mean and the ways in which they are similar and different so that you will be able to understand how they could affect your life.

In the days leading up to New Year’s Eve, it seems that every media outlet from The New York Times to BuzzFeed is filled with articles on how to make the most out of your New Year’s celebrations—from which outfits to wear to which bars to visit in your area. In the days following New Year’s, however, the headlines get a lot bleaker—stories about arrests, drunk driving accidents, and domestic abuses scream out from every newspaper and website.

By: Andrew Weisberg Dec 29, 2014

Sex Crimes

You’re supposed to be safe when you visit your doctor. These are professionals dedicated to our good health and taking care of us when at our worst. We trust them because they’ve had to undergo so much training, and we trust them as people because you can’t have a job where you help others for a living and be a bad person – right?

 

Those are just some of the things that might have been going through your head [...]

By: Andrew Weisberg Dec 24, 2014

Sex Crimes

In recent years, the popularity of online dating has been on a steady upswing. More and more people have been turning to websites like eHarmony and Match.com to help them find potential partners.

 

Unfortunately, online dating sites do more than provide alternative settings in which to seriously seek out and meet new partners. These virtual love services can also be potentially dangerous, sometimes acting as centers for engaging in predatory actions.

What is Criminal Trespass Under Illinois Law?

July 1, 2025 Criminal Trespass

Think you’re not trespassing? Illinois law might say otherwise. It doesn’t take a break-in or a locked gate. Just being in the wrong place or staying too long can lead to criminal charges. Maybe you thought you had permission. Maybe you didn’t realize it was off-limits. Either way, a trespass charge is serious. It can follow you for years and show up on background checks.

That’s why it’s smart to call the Law Offices of Andrew Weisberg, a seasoned Chicago, [...]
