Domestic Violence Defense

Broward County - Ft. Lauderdale - Domestic Violence

If you're facing misdemeanor or felony charges of domestic violence, contact the Law Offices of A. Randall Haas in Fort Lauderdale for dependable advice and a highly skilled defense. Florida's domestic assault and stalking laws carry severe penalties, especially for repeat offenders. You need to rely on an experienced and resourceful attorney  to protect your interests.

Criminal charges can be brought against a person for domestic assault, domestic battery, stalking, harassment, and even cyberstalking. These provisions of Florida's criminal law are intended to protect persons who live together or who ever have lived together in the past. It's also a criminal offense to violate a domestic violence protective injunction, or DVI, that prohibits a person from having contact of any kind with the individual who obtained the protective order.

If you're facing domestic violence charges of any kind, our Fort Lauderdale criminal defense law firm can present a defense based on a denial of the alleged assault or stalking behavior, or can even challenge the allegations that were originally presented to the domestic violence court and that resulted in the injunction against you.

Especially for a first offender, it's often possible for us to work out an acceptable plea agreement with the prosecution that achieves the reduction or dismissal of the charges. Our ability to present an effective defense to misdemeanor or felony domestic violence charges reflects our experience, our careful examination of the facts in every case, and our understanding of how and when to present your strongest defense to the prosecution.

Whether you're charged with a first offense of violating a domestic violence protective injunction, or you're facing the more serious penalties of felony domestic assault based on a prior conviction, contact a south Florida family violence defense lawyer at the Law Offices of A. Randall Haas in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
