An assault or battery is considered \u201cdomestic\u201d if the accused and the complaining witness ever lived together as a \u201cfamily\u201d or were married. The offenses of domestic battery or domestic stalking call for mandatory counseling known as the Batterer\u2019s Intervention Course (26 weeks of classes.) There are statutes that permit \u201cvictims\u201d of domestic violence to obtain injunctions to protect them.3<\/p>\n<p>Often allegations are filed claiming domestic violence in order to gain a strategic advantage in a custody battle between the parents of children. If this is the case, you NEED to let your Central Florida Attorney know at once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will I be arrested if police are dispatched under a domestic violence call?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another common circumstance is the policy of the police to arrest somebody every time they are dispatched to a \u201cdomestic violence\u201d call. The police may arrest that person even though nobody is requesting an arrest and even though the parties deny that any domestic violence took place. The police even pressure the \u201cvictims\u201d to make statements that while untrue, support their arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors\u2019 offices have become so sensitive to charges of \u201cdomestic violence\u201d that they assign special prosecutors to prosecute these charges. While once complaining witnesses (most often wives and girlfriends) could \u201cdrop the charges,\u201d today the prosecutors tell the alleged \u201cvictims\u201d that they cannot drop anything. We have developed strategies that increase the likelihood of having charges dropped.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Strong Defense from an Orlando Criminal Defense Attorney<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have been arrested or are being investigated for any crime involving domestic violence, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible \u2014 even before consenting to a search or answering police questions!
