TNS Attorneys Present on Peace and Protective Orders in Maryland

Three TNS Family Law attorneys presented at the Maryland State Bar Association’s webinar, Handling Peace & Protective Order Cases in Maryland, on July 15, 2026.

Alexis L. Holiday presented on Final Protective Orders. Faith Zellman Khan and Alexandra N. Comegys presented on the enforcement, extension, and modification of Final Protective Orders.

Why This Area of Practice Demands Precision

Peace and protective orders in Maryland operate on compressed timelines and carry consequences that reach well beyond the courtroom — affecting housing, employment, firearm rights, and custody arrangements. The distinction between a peace order and a protective order turns on the relationship between the parties, and the procedural path differs accordingly. Practitioners handling these cases need to move quickly and get the details right the first time.

Built on Published Practice Guidance

The program builds on the practical guidance in the presenters’ published work, Protective & Peace Order Cases in Maryland: A Practice Manual, a resource for practitioners navigating procedure, strategy, and courtroom considerations in these matters.

We’re proud to see our attorneys contributing their expertise to this program and helping educate fellow practitioners across Maryland.
