Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Attorney – Florida

A Repeat Violence Injunction can be sought even when the parties are not family members or in a romantic relationship. These cases frequently arise between neighbors, acquaintances, coworkers, or former friends.

Repeat violence injunctions are also governed by Florida Statutes § 784.046.

To obtain a repeat violence injunction, the petitioner must show:

• At least two incidents of violence or stalking;

• One incident occurred within the last six months.

Common Allegations in Repeat Violence Petitions

• Altercations between neighbors

• Workplace disputes

• Social media conflicts

• Minor physical encounters escalated into legal action

The statute requires qualifying acts of violence — not mere arguments, verbal disputes, or personality conflicts.

We defend against repeat violence restraining orders by:

• Examining whether alleged incidents meet statutory definitions

• Challenging the sufficiency of evidence

• Cross-examining for inconsistencies

• Presenting independent witnesses or video evidence

• Demonstrating that allegations do not rise to the level of legally actionable violence

If you are facing a repeat violence restraining order in Florida, the burden remains on the petitioner. We ensure it is enforced.
