Domestic Violence in South Florida

Domestic violence cases move quickly and the consequences of inaction can be severe. Whether you are seeking protection from an abusive situation or you have been accused of domestic violence — including in the context of a divorce or custody dispute — having experienced legal counsel in your corner from the outset is critical.

If you are experiencing domestic violence or abuse, Florida law provides for an injunction for protection — commonly known as a restraining order — that can restrict an abuser's access to you, your children, and your home. Mr. Lilly will act swiftly to help you pursue emergency relief and guide you through the full injunction process, ensuring your safety and legal protection are established as quickly as possible.

False or exaggerated allegations of domestic violence are not uncommon in high-conflict divorce and custody proceedings. An injunction, even a temporary one, can have immediate and far-reaching consequences — affecting where you can live, your access to your children, and your standing in ongoing family law matters. Mr. Lilly provides aggressive, thorough representation for those contesting domestic violence claims, ensuring your rights and your side of the story are fully presented before the court.
