It is not uncommon to disagree with a spouse, romantic partner, family member, or someone you live with. Sometimes these arguments turn into physical altercations.

At Jeffrey S. Weiner, P.A., our legal team can protect your rights, reputation, and freedom from conviction and the allegations you face for being accused of domestic violence.
Penalties for Violating a Restraining Order in Florida
Although restraining orders are often issued in civil court, violating them can lead to criminal penalties. Violating a restraining order is a first-degree misdemeanor, which carries a jail sentence of up to one year and a maximum $1,000 fine.
A conviction for violating a restraining order can also cost you your job or make it difficult to gain employment and have a negative impact on child custody.
