Defending You Against Domestic Violence Charges
Unfortunately, domestic violence charges can often simply stem from arguments between family members or spouses. Even one single incident of pushing, grabbing, or slapping could lead to domestic violence charges.
If you are going through a divorce, a spouse may be trying to use criminal charges against you to secure a favorable settlement. Perhaps a roommate overacted and felt threatened, calling the police on you, and is now too embarrassed to admit their wrong.
No matter what situation you are in, our Orlando domestic violence lawyers at Ali & Blankner are ready to stand by your side.
