Working Against The Long-Term Consequences Of Domestic Abuse Allegations
Being convicted of domestic assault charges can significantly restrict your freedoms. In addition to establishing a criminal record, a conviction for domestic violence will result in a minimum of five days in jail, with the possibility of additional probation. Depending on the circumstances, you could face a longer term in state prison if you are convicted of aggravated domestic assault or battery, which are felony charges.
Additionally, even if you beat your criminal charges, you could still become the target of a restraining order. If so, you may be prohibited from returning to your home (even temporarily to retrieve your belongings), seeing your children or contacting your spouse or partner in any way. Even a simple text message could land you in legal hot water. Violating the terms of a protective order will result in additional misdemeanor charges.
Lawyer Russell Spatz works to avert these consequences. His knowledge of both Florida family and criminal laws means he has the requisite experience to handle the often-intersecting issues of domestic violence charges.
