Domestic Violence

Broward County Domestic Violence Attorney

Acts of domestic violence occur between all kinds of people—friends, spouses, relatives, parents and children, domestic partners, roommates, acquaintances, dating interests, and even total strangers included.

If you are currently in an abusive situation, three things you need to know are that: a) the situation is not your fault; b) the situation is not going to get better unless you take action; and c) your personal safety comes first—call the police, then call us.

At the Law Office of Serena Carroll, our Fort Lauderdale lawyer represents the victims of all kinds of domestic violence including domestic assaults, battery, stalking, harassment, terroristic threats, and more. Once you contact us, attorney Serena Carroll will act quickly on your behalf to file the necessary papers and to obtain an order of protection for you. After, we will aggressively seek to enforce that temporary restraining order and to fight any and all attempts by your abuser to have it removed.

False Allegations are not Uncommon in Divorce

As wrong as it is, false allegations of domestic violence are all too common in divorce. Unfortunately, making such an allegation offers an easy and many times successful way to gain the advantage in a divorce or child custody case. The simple fact of the matter is most domestic violence cases are "he said, she said" types of affairs and sitting judges tend to err on the side of caution rather than risk being known as "the guy who let the guy out" when they run for re-election.

If you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, it is vitally important that you discuss the situation with a lawyer immediately.
