Protection From Abuse in Lackawanna County
If you’re living in Lackawanna County and facing domestic abuse, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Pennsylvania law provides legal protection through Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders, designed to prevent further harm and give individuals a safe path forward.
At Shane Scanlon Law, we assist clients throughout Lackawanna County—including Scranton, Dunmore, Old Forge, and surrounding communities—with the experience and urgency these cases require.
Filing for a PFA in Lackawanna County
PFA petitions in Lackawanna County are filed at the Court of Common Pleas, located in downtown Scranton at 123 Wyoming Avenue. The court has emergency processes in place for individuals in immediate danger, including the option of a temporary PFA, which may be granted the same day.
Final hearings are typically scheduled within 10 business days, where a judge will determine whether a longer-term order is warranted. Having experienced legal representation during this process is critical.
