Get Legal Counsel for Assault and Battery Cases


Domestic Battery

What You Need to Know About Domestic Violence

In Florida, domestic violence allegations are taken very seriously and almost always result in arrests and charges being filed. Often, these charges are penalized through jail time, restraining orders, probationary sentences, and enforced counseling.

When children are involved, the accused parent is always at risk of losing visitation rights or custody. Once an accusation has been made, even if you maintain your innocence, charges that could pose significant consequences may still be filed.

Aggravated Battery

Available Defenses for This Type of Case

There are many defenses available that an assault and battery lawyer can provide, the most common of which is self-defense. This means that you were defending yourself or another person during the commission of what the state attorney has charged as an assault or battery.

Many factors must be evaluated before you settle for any other offer that the state attorney’s office has given, including but not limited to:

  • Is the charge a Felony or a Misdemeanor?
  • Is the charge filed in a way that qualifies for Sealing or Expunction?
  • Will the charge have any effect on your living arrangements? Knowing that most rental agencies and apartment companies do a background check is essential.
  • Does the victim wish to prosecute?
  • Was the victim a family member?
  • Are there children involved or present in the home at the time of the incident?
  • Is the Department of Children and Families involved in your case?
