Domestic Violence

     Whether you are falsely accused, or the victim of domestic violence, your family, custody of your children,   home, employment, reputation and livelihood could be affected. Contact Stephanie McQueen, Esquire today at (561) 659-8810 if domestic violence has entered your life.

You and your significant other may be willing to make up, but now there’s a court order or prosecutor standing in the way. Or the other person is still angry, but you are entitled to return to your home and see your children and you need a court order enforcing those rights.  Domestic Violence in Florida can often be addressed in one— or both— of two ways: in the Criminal courts, resulting in criminal charges and often a “No Contact” Order, and in Civil courts, where people seek restraining orders, or “Injunctions for  Protection Against Domestic Violence.” Violation of a civil injunction can result in criminal charges in criminal court– and someone could go to jail.

Whether you are a victim of domestic violence or the accused, it is good to have an attorney experienced in both civil and criminal courts in domestic violence cases, representing both victims and accused, whether the parties are men or women,  married or unmarried.
