Assault, Battery and Domestic Violence

Orlando and Central Florida Domestic Violence Attorneys

Fighting for Your Rights and Freedom in Florida State and Federal Courts

In many counties in Central Florida, the police will attempt to diffuse a heated altercation by transporting one of the participants to jail.  Misdemeanor assault can be defined as simply as threatening to do harm to another and causing them fear that the Defendant will carry out that threat.  Battery includes the allegation that the Accused has intentionally touched someone against their will. This battery allegation may be more severe if there are serious injuries to the battered person. Many times, those accused of domestic violence against a spouse, family member or significant other will be arrested and restricted from having contact with that person while the case is pending as well as not being allowed to return to the shared residence.  These restrictions can be addressed with the help of an attorney and there are many valid defenses to the allegations of assault, battery and domestic violence.
