Pinellas County Domestic Violence Attorneys

Criminal Defense Lawyers serving St Pete and Clearwater, Florida

Domestic violence is a term used to describe abuse, assault or injury to a family member, spouse, ex-spouse or cohabitant (someone you are living with). Domestic violence may be physical in nature or may involve sexual abuse, emotional abuse or child neglect.

It is almost guaranteed that an arrest will be made once the police are called to the scene of a domestic dispute. The attitude of taking precautions and making an arrest even when there is not necessarily physical evidence to back this arrest, however, causes problems for those who are falsely accused. It’s easy for an argument to get blown out of proportion or for a spouse or family member to call the police in a moment of anger. You need to consult a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if you have been accused of or arrested for domestic violence or domestic battery.

Clearwater Domestic Battery Attorney

Typically, a person who has been accused of domestic battery will also have a restraining order filed against him or her by the alleged victim. This means that you will be prohibited from coming into contact with the victim or even coming within a certain distance of him or her. You may even be forced to move out of your own home, if you share it with the alleged victim – even if you pay the mortgage or rent!

Protect your rights and future by consulting a Clearwater domestic battery lawyer at our firm. We can explain your rights and options to you and help you with your defense. Contact Finebloom & Haenel today!
