If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Florida Legal Services operates the Florida Domestic Violence Hotline through which our attorneys advise survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and human trafficking on various legal issues. Our attorneys may also be able to offer further guidance on the criminal justice process that survivors may face as they seek justice against their abuser.
Survivors can contact the statewide domestic violence hotline at (800) 500-1119 and access the legal hotline by selecting option 3. They may also contact the legal hotline directly at (850) 385-0611. TTY Access to the legal hotline can be reached at 1-800-955-8771. The legal hotline operates Monday-Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exception of holidays. Attorneys are able to communicate in both English and Spanish, and have access to interpretation services for other languages as needed.
Free translation and interpretation services are available.
