Domestic Violence in Florida

Because violent crimes put people at risk of serious physical injury, these crimes are harshly prosecuted. In many of these scenarios, loved ones will call the police to de-escalate the situation. In doing so, they may not realize police will make an arrest that will put the accused party in jail and subject them to criminal prosecution. In these situations, having a Sarasota domestic violence attorney on your side is crucial.

Florida State considers battery as an intentional use of unlawful physical force against another person. The court sees many types of domestic battery in relationships.

They occur between:

• Spouses and ex-spouses
• People who currently live together or lived together in the past
• People who have a child or children together
• Guardians of a child or children 
• People who are dating or have dated
