DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
JACKSONVILLE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWYER
If you or your children are suffering domestic violence at the
hands of a spouse or a person with whom you are living in a family
relationship or with whom you have a child in common, please call
immediately so that we may take the necessary action to protect
you. The Court has the power to issue an emergency domestic
violence injunction without warning to the other person. This
injunction has the power to order them to have no contact with you,
to immediately leave the home, and to provide some temporary
support for you and your children until we can file a divorce or paternity
action. As a board certified lawyer and marital and
family law expert, my office can help you file for an injunction
and put you in contact with various agencies that offer assistance.
We can also ask the Court to order substance abuse counseling,
psychological evaluations, or anger management classes for the
person committing the violence. Domestic violence does not require
actual physical violence. Your reasonable belief that you are about
to become the victim of violence is enough for the injunction.
Has a false domestic violence injunction been filed against you?
Contact our
office right away so that we can go with you to your domestic
violence hearing. It is important for you to have a lawyer
represent you in domestic violence hearings as they usually are the
beginning of divorce actions. The judge's ruling in a domestic
violence case can sometimes order you to leave your home, keep you
from seeing your children, and require you to participate in
expensive psychological testing or domestic violence classes. As a
board certified lawyer and marital and family law expert, I know
how to represent you and explain to the Court your innocence when
the other party is falsifying an injunction just to obtain an
"edge" in the divorce. Domestic violence injunctions prohibit you
from possessing firearms which can affect your law enforcement or
military
career. Do not take chances with your case. If you are arrested, I
can also represent you in any domestic battery criminal matter.
I represent both men and women and expect that the Court will
treat both equally. I represent military and other families in
Duval, Clay, Nassau, St. Johns, and Baker Counties. If you are out
of country or state, we can often help you over the phone and
through email. We can also discuss your appearance by phone at
court hearings.
Feel free to email or give me a call. I do not charge a
consultation fee so it costs nothing for us to talk and for you to
learn your rights. I am confident that after we speak, I will have
the pleasure of helping you and your family.
