Fort Lauderdale Restraining Order Lawyer

Restraining Order Attorney in Fort Lauderdale

A restraining order is an order from the court directing one person not to perform a certain action, such as making contact with a specific person or entering a certain establishment. Typically issued in cases involving domestic violence, a restraining order serves the purpose of ensuring a former victim's safety. If a person has had two incidents of violence or stalking, one of which must have occurred within the last six months, a restraining order for repeat violence can be filed.  These legal orders increase the penalties for any violation of the order. 

If a restraining order has been placed against you, or if you have been accused of violating a restraining order, you are facing serious legal consequences. If you need information regarding restraining orders or violations of restraining orders, you can contact me right away.  Your freedom and future may be at stake.

Fort Lauderdale and South Florida Restraining Order Attorney

As a seasoned criminal defense attorney, I have seen many situations where restraining orders are placed upon a person unnecessarily. Motivated by anger, jealously or malice, spouses, friends, relatives, roommates, co-workers, and employees and employers sometimes seek restraining orders that are not warranted.  As your criminal defense lawyer, I will work hard to prove a restraining order against you is not necessary and will fight to have the order lifted.  Having a restraining order placed against you can make your life difficult and could prevent you from going certain places and seeing certain people. 

Restraining orders are often misused.  If you need help with a restraining order violation or a restraining order for repeat violence, contact me. I will be happy to help.
