Legal
Services

If you have been hurt or threatened with physical or sexual violence or stalked, we can help. Our Florida Bar-licensed Spring of Tampa Bay* attorneys (including Spanish fluent attorneys) provide free legal representation in Hillsborough County to help obtain Injunctions For Protection (IFP) for any survivor of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking. An injunction (restraining order) is a protective order from civil court that makes it illegal for the abuser to contact you.

Our attorneys can also represent you for free in Dependency Court if your children were removed due to the domestic violence.

*The Spring of Tampa Bay is not providing the legal services and is acting only as an intermediary.

This project was supported by Award No. VOCA-2021-The Spring of Tampa Bay, -00593 awarded by the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs. Sponsored by the Office of the Attorney General and the State of Florida.

To confidentially contact an attorney by phone call or text at (813) 495-3523 or by e-mail at legalintake@thespring.org.
