Gainesville Defense Attorneys - Domestic Violence
Former Prosecutors ◊ Experienced Trial Lawyers
You may think that your argument was a minor incident, but don't assume that the state has the same opinion. Even if you think your charge for domestic violence is ridiculous, it is critical that you take your charges very seriously. What may have started out as a simple argument could result in a criminal conviction that carries serious penalties.
If you have been arrested for domestic violence in Florida, there are a few things you should know:
- The prosecution is not likely to drop your charges
- The prosecution can force the victim to testify through the use of a subpoena
- A conviction for domestic violence could result in a loss of your right to own a firearm
- A domestic violence conviction could be used against you in a child custody battle
- A criminal conviction of any kind could hurt your employment opportunities.

How Can We Help?
Both of our attorneys are former prosecutors. We understand what evidence the prosecution must have and what steps they must take to obtain a criminal conviction.
In many domestic violence cases, the evidence is questionable. Many times, the case comes down to a he said/she said matter. We will perform a thorough review of the evidence and seek a positive result in your case. If we feel that it is in your best interests, we will not hesitate to take a case to trial. As former prosecutors, we have extensive trial experience and are very comfortable in the courtroom. We are never afraid to advocate aggressively for the rights of our clients at trial if we feel it gives them the best opportunity for success.
Even if the prosecution has a strong case and you decide that you do not want to take your case to trial, we have negotiated many favorable plea agreements on behalf of clients that minimized exposure to adverse penalties.
