Protecting Your Interests
Many people mistakenly think that the police will get both sides of a story before charging someone with a crime. That is not true. The police will collect information from the complainant and investigate the case until they have enough evidence to file charges. You will need someone to tell your side of the story before the state decides to file charges.
As your lawyers, we will hire investigators and obtain witness statements so we can tell your side of the story. There are defenses to assault and battery. One is that you were defending yourself or another person. There are even unique circumstances for battery on an elderly person, and you must be aware of them if you find yourself in that particular situation.
If the state has a strong case against you, you will need an attorney who can do damage control. Our criminal defense attorney will work hard to keep you from being tagged with a criminal record or facing serious consequences such as jail time. Our experience as former prosecutors allows us to give you an honest evaluation of your case so that you will know your options from the start.
Felony Battery charges: If you are charged with a second battery offense in Florida, the second offense will be charged as a felony. If you break into someone's home or car and commit battery, you can be charged with a life felony, punishable by life in prison.
