Domestic Violence Defense in the Brevard County Area
Legislators and courts in Florida have been consciously cracking down on domestic violence in recent years. Today, a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction means mandatory penalties such as a minimum five-day jail sentence, probation and a 26-week Batterers' Intervention Program. For felony domestic charges, the penalties are far more severe.
Fast Action in Your Defense Can Be Critical
Although facing a domestic violence charge can be confusing and intimidating, please recognize that the decision to contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible could make the difference for you. In many cases, your best defense is in the details. If you delay finding counsel:
- You may find that your first choice of attorney is unable to take the case due to short notice or scheduling conflicts.
- Your memory of events may have faded, making it more difficult for your lawyer to identify flaws or weaknesses in the prosecution's case against you.
Any domestic violence conviction will impact your Second Amendment right to possess a firearm, and it can also seriously impair your employment options. Comprehensive background checks are readily available today in virtually all aspects of society.
