Ohle & Ohle, P.A. has more than 20 years of courtroom experience and working knowledge defending individuals arrested and accused of domestic violence. We understand the dynamic nature and volatility some relationships encounter. Furthermore, we have seen instances of unfounded claims of domestic violence leading to a law enforcement officer making an arrest under false pretenses or due to completely fabricated allegations.

Acts that could result in a charge of domestic violence

Under Florida law, a charge of domestic violence could be the result of an act of assault, battery, aggravated assault or battery, stalking or aggravated stalking, false imprisonment, kidnapping, or a criminal offense resulting in death or physical injury of a family member or someone living in the household. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the violent act, the crime may be considered either a misdemeanor or felony. When severe injury, death, or use of a deadly weapon is involved, the case will be filed as a felony. Otherwise, it is filed as a misdemeanor.

If you, a family member or friend have been arrested and charged with the crime of domestic violence, it is imperative to contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. Being convicted of domestic violence can carry severe penalties. The charge will become part of your permanent criminal record because, under Florida law, it cannot be sealed or expunged from your record.
