Lawyers Without Billboards
From Civil Court to Jerry Springer: A TPO Survival Guide | Lawyers Without Billboards - Ep 11
Ever wonder what really happens when someone files a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) in Georgia? This episode of Lawyers Without Billboards delivers an unfiltered, no-nonsense breakdown of the legal, emotional, and strategic realities of civil protective orders. Hosted by the seasoned legal team at Shewmaker & Lewis, this episode is as informative as it is entertaining—think courtroom meets Jerry Springer (yes, really).
Join Steve Shewmaker, Patty Shewmaker, Alexa Lewis, and Jimmy Lewis as they explore:
- What qualifies as a TPO in Georgia
- The legal definition of “family violence”
- Why intimate relationships (not just romantic ones) matter
- What kinds of evidence judges look for
- How timing and context influence your chances
- Why ex parte hearings are constitutional (and controversial)
- What rights you may lose—including the right to possess firearms
- How TPOs impact child custody, housing, and employment
- When a judge may deny a TPO—or grant one "just in case"
This episode is full of real courtroom insight, legal strategy, and yes—dad jokes. Whether you're seeking a TPO, defending against one, or simply curious about how Georgia’s civil court system operates, this is the survival guide you didn't know you needed.
