Domestic Battery Legal Cases

DOMESTIC BATTERY

As a former State prosecutor, I have investigated countless domestic battery allegations in an effort to determine whether charges were to be filed. This experience puts me in a unique position to know first hand what strategies and tactics should be used to defend your domestic battery charge. It is important to understand just because you have been arrested for a domestic battery does not mean that you have been charged with one. Many times, it is possible to get the charges dropped before they are ever filed. It is important to understand that even if the victim wants to drop the charges, the State may pursue them anyway. Florida has a zero tolerance approach and many times the State will pursue a case that the victim does not want to be pursued. That is why it is important for immediate attention to your case to get the charges dropped before they have been filed. If they are filed by the State Attorney’s Office, there are many ways to resolve them without having a conviction resulting on your record or multiple appearances in court.

Many times the court issues a no contact order upon being arrested for domestic battery. Getting contact is crucial in many cases when the family depends on it. Getting the no contact order lifted as soon as possible can be handled by me immediately.

Getting the charges dropped, having contact, or resolving this case through a diversionary program are many of the functions that my experience can help you accomplish.
