Under Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 741.28), domestic violence includes offenses like assault, battery, stalking, false imprisonment, or any crime resulting in injury between family or household members. These cases often involve spouses, former partners, co-parents, or individuals who live together.
Common charges that fall under domestic violence include:
A domestic violence arrest often comes with immediate consequences, such as a no-contact order, loss of firearm rights, or even removal from your home. The sooner you take legal action, the better your chances of defending yourself.
A domestic violence conviction can lead to serious, life-changing consequences, including:
Additionally, domestic violence charges can affect your job, professional license, and even future custody rights. If you’ve been accused, it’s critical to have a defense attorney who understands how to fight these charges and protect your future.
I take a thorough, compassionate, and strategic approach to every domestic violence case. I know that these cases are often complex, involving personal conflicts, misunderstandings, or even false allegations. I will:
Examine the Evidence Closely – Was there a 911 call? Witnesses? Injuries? I analyze every detail.
Challenge False Allegations – Domestic violence accusations can sometimes be used to gain an advantage in divorce or custody battles.
Fight for Your Rights in Court – If necessary, I will aggressively defend you in front of a judge or jury.
Not every accusation is true, and not every case should result in a conviction. Possible defenses may include:
Every case is different, and there is always a defense strategy that fits your situation.
