Work with an Experienced and Effective Attorney

If you are convicted of some domestic violence crimes, you could face serious penalties, including:

• Fines
• Strict probation requirements
• Up to 15 years in prison
• An arrest and conviction that can never be expunged from your record.

The repercussions of domestic violence charges go beyond the court room as well: a conviction could be detrimental to future job applications or career advancement. A conviction could also hinder custody mediations or divorce proceedings. Domestic violence crimes can be cases of "he-said, she-said" disputes. Perhaps some details of the occurrence were not included in your police report. It's possible that you have been falsely accused of a crime by a former partner or estranged relative.

These cases are not always clear cut, which is why you need a Miami criminal defense lawyer who will carefully listen to your side of the story without judgment. If you need help fighting domestic violence charges, contact me, Jonathan Blecher, P.A., for help.
