Tampa Domestic Violence Lawyer

Domestic Violence (DV) offenses are those committed by one family member against another while living in the same home. When called to the scene of a domestic dispute, law enforcement officers are often forced to make snap judgments based on little evidence, and often arrest the party who did not call the police. DV offenses can often lead to jail time as well as to the loss of parental rights.

These are only a few of the many reasons to hire an attorney experienced in domestic violence cases. At Roman & Roman, we will work hard to make sure that your rights are protected in the unfortunate event of a DV charge. Domestic violence can include such charges as:

• Battery or Aggravated Battery
• Assault or Aggravated Assault
• False Imprisonment/Kidnapping
• Stalking or Aggravated Stalking
• Violation of DV Injunction

Restraining Orders/Injunctions

Usually a person asks for a court ordered injunction or restraining order if they feel threatened by another person. These orders place limitations on contact between certain people that can range from home usage to temporary child custody. In certain cases, a violation of an injunction may result in criminal charges filed against you by the State of Florida. If you are going to petition the court to grant an injunction or if you have an injunction granted against you, it is very important to contact an attorney so your rights are protected.
