Daytona Beach Lawyer Handling Spousal Abuse Cases
If you were assaulted by your spouse or partner, or fear for your safety, the Law Office of Jeffrey A. Klein can help you get an emergency injunction for protection and pursue a permanent restraining order if necessary.
I also represent people who are accused of domestic violence, including defense against false charges of assault and the permanent injunction. You can be prevented from seeing your kids and the black mark on your record can affect employment and other aspects of your life.
I am Jeffrey Klein, a Daytona Beach family law attorney practicing in Volusia County and Flagler County. Contact me immediately if you were a victim of domestic violence or unfairly accused.
Defense for Domestic Violence Allegations
In Florida, when police are summoned to a domestic disturbance and find evidence of domestic abuse, they may be duty-bound to make an arrest, even if the victim does not want to press charges. A family court judge will typically grant a temporary injunction (restraining order) barring you from returning home or contacting your spouse/partner or children.
Within 10 to 14 days, there will be a hearing on whether to make the injunction permanent. I step in to contest the basis for the assault charge, and to fight any continuation of the protective order. These injunctions often have no expiration date. This means you could be cut off from your children entirely or allowed only limited or supervised visitation.
I have served as the lawyer on both sides of this issue — legitimate victims of domestic violence who need to protect themselves and their children, as well as people wrongly accused in connection with a pending divorce or custody dispute.
