Workflow

Overview

Preparing DVROs manually requires hours of careful documentation, organizing abuse narratives chronologically, and ensuring all protective orders meet jurisdictional requirements. Family law attorneys often face urgent deadlines while clients are in crisis, making the time-intensive drafting process even more stressful and prone to omissions.

CaseMark automates DVRO preparation by intelligently structuring abuse narratives, generating comprehensive protective order language, and ensuring all required sections are complete. Transform client intake information into court-ready restraining order petitions in minutes, allowing you to focus on client support during critical moments.
