Domestic Violence

The term "domestic violence" refers to a range of crimes. Florida law defines domestic violence as any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household member.

We have significant experience representing clients facing domestic violence charges and are familiar with the complexities and emotionally delicate nature of these trials. We understand the difficult court battle you will face if accused of domestic violence. Even if you have a valid defense to the charges, you may be unfairly perceived as an abuser. We stand up for our clients' rights and ensure that they are given a fair opportunity to present a strong defense.
