Injunction/Restraining Orders

Injunctions/Restraining Orders

(Defense & Prosecution) 

Injunctions (also commonly referred to as “restraining orders”) are powerful legal tools designed to protect individuals from harm, harassment, or credible threats. Injunctions in Florida are legally binding orders that can impose restrictions on a person’s ability to contact or approach another individual, providing much-needed security in cases of escalating or ongoing harm. Injunctions serve to protect individuals from domestic violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, stalking, harassment, and other behaviors that could endanger one’s safety and well-being. 

Whether you are seeking to obtain an injunction or defending against one, Woolsey Morcom provides dedicated legal representation to protect your rights and interests. Our injunction attorneys have extensive experience in handling both the prosecution and defense of restraining order cases in Florida, offering the support and guidance you need during these sensitive and often emotionally challenging situations. We work closely with each client to understand their unique circumstances, collect and organize critical evidence, and build a compelling case in and outside of court. Whether you are pursuing protection through an injunction, contesting an injunction that was filed against you, or contesting a restraining order that was issued unjustly, Woolsey Morcom is committed to advocating for a just and fair outcome. Our team’s experience includes successfully securing injunctions for protection that are court orders which enforce strong legal protections for those in need, as well as defending clients against unfair or exaggerated claims that may have led to the issuance of an injunction. 

Injunction and restraining order cases often involve nuanced legal and factual questions that require a keen understanding of Florida law. Woolsey Morcom’s attorneys are skilled in handling a range of issues that may arise in these cases, including domestic violence allegations, criminal allegations, sexual violence allegations, stalking, harassment, or threats of harm. For clients seeking an injunction, we work diligently to gather the necessary documentation and evidence to support their petition, ensuring that the court understands the gravity of the situation and the need for protective measures. For clients defending against an injunction, our approach is equally meticulous, as we investigate all aspects of the claims made against them, identify any inconsistencies, and challenge any unfounded or exaggerated allegations that may have led to the issuance of the order. As your legal counsel, we are allowed to communicate with the other side and attempt to achieve favorable out of court resolutions where appropriate, whereas once a court enters an injunction against you, you cannot have any further contact with the adverse party absent a change in the court’s order. Our primary objective is to achieve an equitable resolution that upholds your rights while promoting safety and fairness. 

Whether you need to secure an injunction, defend against a restraining order, or seek advice on conflict prevention, Woolsey Morcom is here to provide the knowledgeable and compassionate representation you deserve. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate these complex cases and protecting your rights at every stage of the process.
