Seminole County Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

What you may be facing

Domestic violence charges move quickly and carry consequences beyond the courtroom: possible jail time, a no-contact order that keeps you from your home and children, firearm restrictions, and a record that’s difficult to shake. In Florida, prosecutors can pursue a case even if the alleged victim wants to drop it — so waiting for it to “go away” is a risk.

Your defense starts with one call

  • Domestic battery
  • Domestic assault
  • False or exaggerated accusations arising from divorce, custody, or heated arguments

Why these cases are defensible

Domestic accusations often come out of emotional, chaotic moments, and the full story rarely makes it into the police report. A defense may focus on:
Self-defense or defense of others
Inconsistent or changing accounts
Lack of physical evidence

Not necessarily. In Florida, the state — not the alleged victim — decides whether to prosecute. The case can continue even over the accuser’s objection.

Follow it exactly, even if it feels unfair, and let your attorney address it in court. Violating it creates a new charge. We can ask the court to modify it.
