Domestic violence, dating, and stalking/harassment injunctions can have life-altering and lifelong consequences. Although there may not be valid grounds to enter an injunction against you, in situations where a client is falsely accused, having knowledgeable and aggressive representation will insure your rights are protected and contribute to achieving the best possible outcome in your case.
Florida's domestic violence injunction laws, particularly Florida Statute 741.30, were designed to protect individuals from legitimate threats of violence. However, the reality is that these injunctions are frequently misused, manipulated, and weaponized against innocent individuals. While each type of injunction is slightly different, all have similar consequences. In all cases, an injunction prevents you from contacting the alleged victim in any way—whether in person, by phone, via email, text message, online, or through a third party. In certain cases, an injunction will prevent you from seeing your children, and may require you to forfeit your right to own or possess a firearm/ammunition. Additionally, violations of injunctions come with serious penalties, including but not limited to jail time. The biggest flaw in Florida's domestic violence/dating violence/stalking and harassment injunction system is that it often operates on little to no evidence. Judges frequently grant injunctions based solely on an accuser's word, without requiring hard proof of real threats or violence. This opens the door for a variety of wrongdoing—false accusations, exaggerated claims, and attempts to legally harm you by using the injunction process.
Even worse, the definition of "violation" is alarmingly broad—a single text message, accidental encounter, or a false claim by the can lead to criminal charges. Law enforcement officers often side with the accuser without thoroughly investigating, leading to wrongful arrests and unnecessary prosecutions. If you have been served with a temporary injunction, you need experienced and aggressive representation to fight for your rights and avoid having the temporary injunction made permanent. Once you retain Rowland Law, LLC, we will work with you to craft a personalized defense tailored to your situation and maximize your chance of a positive outcome.
Easily the best defense is to avoid having an injunction entered against you from the outset. Agreeing to entry of an injunction against you is the worst decision you can make, as it sets you up for accusations that you’ve violated the injunction later, potentially leading to criminal charges. Being convicted for violating an injunction can have catastrophic effects on your life.

In some cases, that may be seeking dismissal of the charges.
