Fort Myers Criminal Defense Lawyer

If convicted of domestic violence, you might be restricted from seeing your family. You may have a restraining order placed against you that prohibits you from making any type of direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim, meaning that you may have to move out of the house that you share with the victim – even if you pay the rent or mortgage.

A criminal defense lawyer can help you if you have been accused of, arrested for, or charged with domestic violence, spousal abuse, or child abuse. By getting involved and actively asserting your rights, an experienced lawyer may be able to help ensure that charges are not filed or that your charges are reduced. At the very least, a skilled lawyer can help you to avoid the maximum penalties that come with a conviction for domestic violence.

There are defenses that a Fort Myers criminal attorney can use to fight domestic violence charges. It may be that law enforcement made an arrest for domestic violence based upon little or no evidence and simply a witness’s statements. If this is the case, it is possible that an attorney will be able to secure your release and may even be able to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney in order to help suppress the filing of any formal charges.
