Domestic Violence Attorney In Florida

Florida Lawyer Protects Victims of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence occurs in many homes but is often not discussed. Abusive relationships can begin with verbal abuse and escalate to actual physical harm. When this occurs, it can be very dangerous for the abused spouse, child or family member if proper actions are not taken.

Many women, and even men, fail to report such abuse due to fear, humiliation and ignorance. If you or someone you know finds themselves in this situation, it is very important to contact a professional Florida domestic violence attorney to represent and protect you under these circumstances. Domestic violence is a crime and the act should be treated as such. If a child is involved, this becomes even more crucial, for their safety and well being.

If you are the victim of domestic violence, your first action should be to contact the police and file a complaint. Our experienced attorneys can obtain a restraining order against the person who is either harassing, or physically abusing you or your loved ones.

It can also occur, however, that you may have been wrongfully charged or accused of domestic violence and are disputing the facts. We can also assist you in defending your rights and providing you with a skilled legal defense.
