There are defenses against accusations of domestic violence. Often, law enforcement officials will arrest the party that failed to call the police during a domestic dispute. Obviously, this should not be a factor used to determine who gets arrested. When handling such serious allegations, law enforcement officials sometimes make judgment calls based on very little evidence. Make sure you retain a lawyer that will thoroughly investigate every step law enforcement took before they made the decision to arrest. Our attorneys protect the rights of the accused in a variety of domestic violence cases:
- Domestic assault
- Battery charge
- Child abuse
- Child abduction
- Violating a restraining order
Injunctions and Restraining Orders
Consulting a lawyer is important so that you are made fully aware of your rights, as well as your obligations, regarding Florida state laws. Violating the terms of an injunction or restraining order, knowingly or not, can cause severe legal consequences. Ignorance of the law cannot be used as a defense. Consulting an attorney to advise you on the specifics of your restraining order is crucial.
Child Abuse
If you face a battery charge involving a child, you could lose your parental rights forever. Don't let false accusations be used in a custody battle. We can help you protect your rights if you have been accused of child abuse, and make sure your children are not used as weapons in a custody battle.
