Civil & Domestic Violence
Civil domestic violence cases move fast and the consequences last. We handle injunction matters — restraining orders — in Broward County every single week, on both sides: for people who genuinely need protection, and for people wrongly accused who are about to lose their rights based on an allegation alone.
How injunctions for protection work
In Florida, a petition for an injunction for protection against domestic violence can result in a temporary injunction issued the same day, with a full hearing set within roughly 15 days. At that final hearing a judge decides whether to enter a long-term injunction. The stakes are serious: a domestic violence injunction can strip your right to possess a firearm, remove you from your home, bar contact with your children, and follow you on background checks for the rest of your life.
Whether you need protection or you’ve been served
If you are in danger, we help you present a clear, credible case for the protection you need. If you have been served with a petition, understand this: these hearings happen quickly, the burden is lower than in a criminal case, and showing up without a lawyer who handles them regularly is a serious risk. We know how these hearings are won and lost.
Why a trial lawyer makes the difference
An injunction hearing is a mini-trial — witnesses, evidence, and cross-examination, compressed into a single high-stakes appearance. That is our home field. We prepare the testimony, challenge the other side’s account, and make the record that protects your rights.
