Defending Domestic Violence Accusations in Miami Dade & Broward County

At Hager & Schwartz, we believe that every defendant is entitled to their side of an argument and their right to a fair hearing of their case. After all, you are innocent until proven guilty.

Penalties for Domestic Violence & Child Abuse in Florida

If you are accused of child abuse, domestic violence or spousal abuse, you may face harsh penalties. First and foremost, when you are accused of domestic violence, a temporary restraining order will likely be filed against you. You will be unable to contact or come within a certain distance of the alleged victim. You may have to leave your home, even if you own the house or pay the rent. This is all in addition to criminal penalties, such as jail time and fines, that you will also face.

With a skilled criminal defense lawyer on your side, you may be able to avoid a conviction or have your charges dropped altogether. Don't underestimate the power of an experienced and dedicated attorney and the effects he or she can have both in and out of the courtroom.

At Hager & Schwartz, our domestic violence defense attorneys have offices in Broward County, Palm Beach, Fort Pierce, Miami-Dade County and Volusia County. Don't hesitate to contact our offices for a consultation, to see how an attorney at our offices can help you.
