Protecting your safety — and your rights. Sabreena Barboza is here in South Carolina to fight for you.
When a relationship turns dangerous or an argument spins out of control, an Order of Protection can change everything overnight.
Maybe you live in Rock Hill and your partner’s threats have crossed a line, leaving you scared for your safety or your kids. Maybe you’re in Indian Land and need the court’s help to get someone out of your house and keep them away. Or maybe you’re in Lancaster and just got served with an Order of Protection you believe is based on lies, filed out of revenge, or being used to gain the upper hand in a custody fight.
An Order of Protection is not just a piece of paper — it can force someone out of their own home, limit contact with children, restrict where they can go, and lead to criminal charges if it’s violated. The stakes are high for both sides.
At Barboza Law, we handle both sides of these cases throughout Rock Hill, Indian Land, Lancaster, and nearby communities. Whether you need immediate legal protection or you’re fighting false allegations, we bring clear advice, aggressive strategy, and dedicated support when you need it most.
