In Florida, defending yourself against a petition for an injunction protecting against one of the five types of injunctions requires skilled analysis because of the complexities involved. When facing a petition, pro se petitioners are typically given a limited time of approximately 15 minutes in total for their case to be heard.
Defending against an order of protection is crucial because it provides an opportunity to present the court with vital information and evidence to support your side of the case. With the assistance of an attorney, exhibits and evidence can be thoroughly reviewed and prepared for hearings where more time is allotted. It is not uncommon for individuals to make false allegations, which can greatly impact respondent’s lives, including employment, residence, firearm seizures, and involvement with child protective services. Having the guidance of an experienced attorney can help alleviate these burdens and protect your rights.
