Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Hi,

I am searching an attorney for the defamation of character. I was issued a restraining order to which i agreed in October 2012 because of the dispute with former lady friend who was in my class. The judge issued the order for 2 years because i responded yes to the restraining order, and agreed to stay away in the response. however, judge didn't believe she was being stalked. After careful consideration, i found that most of the statement by her were false and nothing stated in her complaint was true except. I think, careful consideration of the pleading is must for the attorney. The order is about expire on Oct 23, 14. but it has causing problems in other areas of life. i need assistance

What you need/want, and what you get are two different things. You agreed to a RO, or at least you lost on one, which carries serious consequences, whether you understood them of not. You do not now get to 'undo' or 'redo' the case. Your 'careful consideration' should have been before, not after, the pleadings, testimony and hearing.

You also do not get to sue anyone for what they put in court pleadings or testimony, whether true or false, probable or not. All court proceedings and pleadings are 'privileged'.

You DO get to live with the consequences of a RO on your record when dealing with employment and credit, among other things. Explain it away as best you can when required.
