Safety comes first and clarity comes next. We’re here to help you take action. Florida law allows you to ask the court for protection — even before criminal charges are filed — if you’re the victim of violence, threats, stalking, or harassment by a spouse, partner, co-parent, or family member.

At Justin Andersson, P.A., we help you petition for an injunction, prepare for your hearing, and understand what protection means — legally, physically, and emotionally.

We also represent clients who are falsely accused and facing wrongful injunctions that threaten custody, employment, or their reputation.

No matter which side you’re on, we provide clarity, strategy, and a steady hand.

Under Fla. Stat. § 741.28, domestic violence includes:

• Physical assault or battery
• Stalking or cyberstalking
• Threats that cause fear of imminent harm
• Sexual assault
• Kidnapping or false imprisonment
• Destruction of property during an act of violence

You do not need a police report or a witness to request protection.

A domestic violence injunction (often called a restraining order) can order the other person to:

• Leave your home (even if both names are on the lease or deed)
  
• Stop contacting you (in person, by phone, online, or through third parties)
  
• Stay away from your home, work, or child’s school
  
• Surrender firearms and ammunition
  
• Comply with temporary timesharing, child support, or spousal support terms
  
• Attend anger management or other programs

Injunctions are enforceable by law enforcement — violations can result in arrest and serious penalties.

Injunctions can be misused during breakups, custody disputes, or emotionally charged family situations.

A wrongful injunction can:

• Get you removed from your home
• Limit or suspend child custody and visitation
• Affect security clearances or professional licenses
• Become part of your permanent public record

We defend clients against false or exaggerated accusations with preparation, evidence, and professionalism — not drama or retaliation.

What to Bring to a Hearing (Whether You’re Seeking or Defending):

• Screenshots, texts, emails, or voicemails
• Police reports, photos of injuries or damage
• Medical records (if applicable)
• Witness testimony
• Timeline of incidents or behaviors
• Any history of similar issues or prior injunctions

We help you present your case clearly and calmly — no matter how emotional the situation.
