Criminal Injunctions in Florida

Trusted Fort Lauderdale Defense Attorney

At Rudenberg and Glasser, P.A., we are aware that your rights are severely impacted when an injunction or restraining order is sought against you. We provide you with outstanding representation and relentlessly pursue favorable results for your case. If someone is seeking an injunction against you, we can help protect you from an unlawful or lifelong stigma associated with a restraining order. When you retain our help, we can review your case and determine the best course of action to take in order to help provide you with the resolution that you are seeking. Special rules and regulations govern the procedures involved in injunctions hearings, so it is important that you have an attorney on your side.

How Will a Criminal Injunction Affect Me?

A restraining order or injunction may require any of the following:

• The respondent may have no contact of any kind with the other party
• The respondent must surrender any and all weapons
• The respondent must move from their permanent residence
• The respondent must attend substance abuse and/or domestic violence counseling

In the event that an injunction is granted, you will not only face additional penalties from your criminal proceeding, but you may also be required to abide by specific laws and regulations stated in the injunction filing. The consequences are especially harsh when you're facing a domestic violence charge. Contact our office immediately for the help you need.

Who Can See My Injunction?

While many people think that their criminal injunction may be a private matter, it is actually open to numerous parties.

Be aware of the following issues:

• Law enforcement can see your injunction if they run a check on your driver's license
• Employers and potential employers may have knowledge of the injunction
• Injunction hearings can become contentious, especially when children are involved

While injunctions do not entail any direct criminal consequences, if the respondent is involved in a related crime such as assault, any testimony given by them at the hearing may be obtained by the prosecutor and used against them in the criminal case.

A respondent can also be charged with a crime if they violate the terms of the injunction.
