Domestic Violence FAQ

Safeguard your rights with the help of an experienced Tampa Bay attorney for domestic violence cases.

Domestic violence is an unfortunate part of our society. More than 100,000 individual incidents of domestic violence are reported every year in Florida, and many more people are too afraid to report it to the authorities. Domestic violence causes extreme emotional and physical suffering for those who endure these attacks, especially defenseless children.

However, on many occasions completely unwarranted charges are filed for domestic violence or charges arise due to misunderstandings. When facing a domestic violence charge, it is crucial for you to consult a Tampa Bay domestic violence attorney to safeguard your rights.

Domestic violence can include any type of threat of violence or acts of physical violence on another family member, including husbands, boyfriends, wives, girlfriends, children and other family members. This includes:

• • Verbal abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Child abuse
  • Spousal abuse
  • Threats of violence
  • Sexual abuse
  • Stalking

If you are convicted of a domestic violence charge, you will likely face serious legal consequences. A conviction can be used against you in a divorce proceeding, affecting your ability to see your children. Your Second Amendment right to own and bear a gun will be banned for life. The domestic violence conviction will remain on your record for employers and others to see upon review, affecting your ability to earn a living and possibly causing embarrassment.

You may also face stiff fines, mandatory anger management program attendance and jail time. Even if you are charged with domestic violence and haven’t been convicted, you may not be able to return to your home or your family until a judge hears your case.

Whether you are enduring attacks of domestic violence or facing a domestic violence charge, you need excellent legal representation from an attorney who understands both the family courts and the criminal justice system in the Tampa Bay region. When you hire Kemp Law, you’re hiring one of Tampa Bay’s most talented law firms.
