Attorney Gergely of the Umansky Law Firm defended a Domestic injunction in Seminole County. The Petitioner was alleging domestic aggravated assault against the Respondent. The Petitioner and Respondent were living together, although they had broken up three months prior to the allegations. The Petitioner alleged that the parties were arguing and that the Respondent pushed against her and would not let her leave her room, as she was trying to leave her house. Further, she alleged that he shoved her back against a door frame causing bruising and swelling to her forearms. Attorney Gergely was able to show that on prior occasions the Petitioner had been violent towards the Defendant, that she was came back to the apartment the next day when she knew that the Respondent might be home, and that she did not call the police until the next afternoon. Overall, the Judge ruled that the Petitioner did not show that she was in imminent fear of domestic violence and dismissed the injunction against the Respondent.
