Misdemeanor and Felony Domestic Violence Charges

Understanding the distinction between misdemeanor and felony charges is crucial. The distinction between these charges can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

In Florida, misdemeanor domestic violence charges typically involve less severe allegations, such as simple assaults or batteries between family members. These charges often carry lesser penalties, such as fines, probation, or, in some cases, a county jail sentence.

Felony domestic violence charges involve more serious allegations, such as strangulation or repeat offenses. Convictions for felony charges can lead to long-term prison sentences, probation, or a combination of both.

Defenses We Could Use in Your Case

When defending clients against domestic violence charges, we have various defenses we can use to protect your rights and establish your innocence. Our skilled lawyers can craft a strong defense strategy that best represents you and your circumstances.

Some defenses we could use include:

• Alibi
  If you have a credible alibi that proves your absence during the alleged incident, we may be able to present corroborating evidence. Such evidence could include witness statements, documentation, or surveillance footage to help prove your whereabouts at the time.
• Lack of Evidence
  We may be able to build a strong defense that shows a lack of clear substantial evidence to support a domestic violence claim. We can meticulously examine the evidence presented by the prosecution and challenge its reliability or authenticity when possible.
• False Allegations
  Alleged victims can make false accusations of domestic violence out of spite, revenge, or personal gain. We can thoroughly investigate your circumstances and gather evidence that demonstrates the motives behind false accusations.
• Misunderstanding
  Often, domestic violence incidents can arise from misunderstandings or miscommunications. We can investigate the details surrounding the alleged incident, looking for evidence that shows your actions were not intended to cause harm.

By employing a strong defense, we can vigorously advocate for your innocence and strive to achieve favorable outcomes for your case. Our experienced team is here to provide guidance and support during this challenging time. We will work hard to ensure your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
