Domestic Violence Defense
If you were recently arrested for domestic violence battery or are facing any domestic violence charge in Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or any other part of South Florida, contact a dmestic violence defense lawyer at Leifert & Leifert for immediate help.
Domestic Violence cases in Florida are usually very sensitive cases involving a great degree of emotion. As a result of minimum mandatory sentencing (see Florida statute page) and increased public and media attention, Domestic Violence cases need to be treated very carefully by an expereinced criminal defense attorney. Even if you have no criminal record whatsoever, a sentence in a domestic violence case (even if adjudication is withheld) cannot be removed from your record by way of a records seal or expungemenet.
We will look for ways to achieve dismissal of the charges or seek alternative resolutions that will look towards the possibility of records expungement or sealing. Please call us to schedule a consultation.
