Injunctions & Restraining Orders in Florida

Protect Your Rights with a Florida Criminal Defense Attorney

According to Florida law, victims of any kind of violence can file an injunction for protection or file for a restraining order against the aggressor. These orders are to prevent the accused from coming within 500 feet of the defendant or having any contact with the defendant directly or indirectly. Communication through a third party is also not permitted. If this law is breached, the accused could face severe punishment. Even just trying to send a message via a third party is grounds enough for arrest. In these kinds of criminal cases, the value of a skilled Florida criminal defense attorney cannot be underestimated.
