Florida Domestic Violence Injunctions

Florida domestic violence actions are typically handled in a separate division than divorce or paternity cases. In some cases, when you have a pending family law action, it may be beneficial to consolidate the domestic violence action with the family law action. Harris, Hunt & Derr, P.A., has experience in both areas of law in order to properly advise you on the strategy of your case going forward. Additionally, our firm offers representation of parties in domestic violence actions who do not have a pending divorce or paternity. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence and unable to afford an attorney, please contact Are You Safe, a nonprofit organization in Tampa offering pro bono legal service to victims of domestic violence.
