Swift, Thorough and Responsive Injunctions Representation
As soon as possible following our initial contact, we can seek an emergency temporary injunction. Then, our experienced, caring lawyers are always willing to pursue what is called a temporary injunction to see to your protection in the short term. This move seeks to ensure your safety, and that the safety of your children, by giving you the right to insist on the arrest of your husband or wife for coming near you. A temporary injunction can be made permanent after a hearing.
We will also do everything in our power related to these orders of protection to safeguard your possessions and your assets.
If a permanent injunction is required for your long-term safety, we are more than pleased to help put one into motion. This kind of injunction lasts two years. The message the law is putting before you is clear: You should no longer settle for being repeatedly victimized; and, according to the law, you don't have to wait to be actually, physically harmed in order to protect yourself. The bottom line is this: You have options. Use them.
If you have been, or fear that you soon will be, a domestic violence victim, one such option is obtaining a restraining order. A petition must be filled out at a courthouse, including a sworn statement of events. At that time, a court could grant the temporary injunction, after which the result of a hearing could decide whether to make the injunction permanent. If the person named as the offender breaks the injunction, he or she may be ruled to be in criminal contempt.
Whether you are the injunction petitioner or respondent: We are here for you for drafting your documentation, representing you at hearings and providing anything else to you that you might need. Feel free to reach out to us in Jacksonville at any time of day or night.
