Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina

Go back and read the first few words of your second sentence. Its hard to tell if you are asking if you need to get an attorney or if He needs to. I'll assume that you are asking if YOU should get one.

You can hire one if you want to, and the attorney can petition the court for the Order of Protection you asked about. However, nearly all the time, in these cases when a person is arrested, the judge at the bond hearing will automatically issue the order.

You did not say anything about what happened, other than you calling law enforcement. You did not say if he was arrested, if he's in jail, if there was a bond hearing, etc. Its very hard to deal with these questions when people don't give much information. If he was arrested and bonded out of jail, you can check with the jail and see if there is an order. If he was arrested and is still in jail, you can call the jail and tell them you want to be notified for the bond hearing so you can ask the judge for the order.
