What Is a Protection from Harassment Order?

A Protection from Harassment (PFH) order is a civil restraining order issued by a Maine court to stop serious, repeated harassment — whether it's from a neighbor, co-worker, acquaintance, or even a stranger.


Unlike PFAs, PFHs don’t require a domestic or family relationship. Anyone can file if the behavior meets the legal standard for harassment, including:


  • Repeated threats or intimidation
  • Stalking or following
  • Inappropriate messages or conduct
  • Targeted disruption of a business or residence

Why You Need a Lawyer for a PFH Hearing

Protection from Harassment cases are serious — especially when they involve reputational harm, workplace issues, or potential criminal overlap. The process moves fast, and like with PFAs, you may only get one hearing to tell your story.



A lawyer helps you:


  • Understand the legal standard
  • Prepare strong evidence and arguments
  • Challenge or defend against vague or unfair claims
  • Navigate court procedures with confidence
