Miami, Florida, Domestic Violence Lawyer
We represent both the victims and the alleged abusers. When a domestic violence issue arises, the victim of the violence should get an injunction to separate from the abuser. Domestic violence injunctions are available to husbands/wives, boyfriends/girlfriends, parents/children or anyone involved in a relation that has, or threatens to become violent. The Miami, Florida, Law Offices of Stephanie G. Morrow has been helping victims of domestic violence for more than twenty years. We are supportive counselors who can help you understand your legal rights.
Attorney and Counselor at Law
We strive to help our clients overcome the cycle of abuse. If you are in an abusive situation, knowing your rights helps give you strength, protect your children and your home. Clients often wonder if they will lose their home if they leave an abuser. Often this is not so; there are actions that can be taken in court to protect you. We can:
- help you obtain a temporary restraining order
- represent you at court hearings
- advise you on Florida domestic violence law
We take time to listen to your concerns. Attorney Stephanie Morrow works as both an attorney and counselor at law, helping you deal with the legal and emotional aspects of your domestic violence situation. Even if you don't take action, knowing your rights can be key to helping you deal with abuse-related matters.
A domestic violence order is a civil matter (not a criminal matter like assault or battery) until the order is violated. It is a hybrid between family law and criminal law. If a person is threatening you, we can help you put a domestic violence injunction in place. This prevents that person from contacting you or going to your place of business. As long as the person doesn't disobey the order, the case stays in the family law arena. If it is violated, criminal charges may be filed.
We also have the capability to represent you in your divorce, if the need should arise.
Fighting False Allegations of Abuse
Sadly, people do occasionally make false allegations of domestic violence in relationships. If this has happened to you, lawyer Stephanie Morrow will fight aggressively in your defense. Many of our clients have been falsely accused of domestic violence. In those cases, we fight charges vigorously to dissuade the court from issuing a permanent restraining order. Unfortunately, once the permanent restraining order is put in place, it is very easy for the other person to allege a violation. Violations can have serious consequences, especially if immigration issues are involved.
Our job is to advise you of your rights and responsibilities when it comes to domestic violence. Contact us today for a confidential consultation about Florida domestic violence law. Call us at 305.757.0900 or toll free at 888.757.0901.
