Charged With Assault And Battery In Florida?
Last updated on June 12, 2024
A physical or verbal altercation at a bar or even on your home property could quickly intensify, resulting in an assault charge. If you believe you may be suspected of domestic violence or assault in a bar fight, do not delay. Law enforcement is likely developing a case against you based on the opposing party’s perspective of the altercation. Your side of the story deserves representation.

Cohen was a public defender and state prosecutor before starting this law practice to preserve individuals’ civil rights. He knows firsthand that assault charges often involve conflicting reports between disputing parties, especially when there is a lack of witness testimony.

Handling The Complexities Of Battery Defense Law In Florida
From your perspective, the legalities of your case may seem somewhat simple. Numerous complex processes and options, however, will arise during the defense of your case. We can help. For instance:
Removing no-contact bond conditions: In domestic violence cases, one common condition of making bail is the requirement that the defendant has no contact with the alleged victim. Usually, this means that you can’t return home or try for reconciliation. If you violate the conditions of the bond, then you can be arrested again and placed on a no-bond hold.
We have an excellent record of success getting those conditions removed so that you can make bail and get out of jail without having to stay away from your home or your spouse. The sooner you hire us the better chance we have of negotiating a bond agreement that does not include a no-contact restriction.
Declination of prosecution: In many cases, domestic violence arrests happen when an argument at home gets out of hand. One person calls the police but may later regret that action. If you and your spouse want to reconcile, and if your spouse wants to drop the domestic violence charges, we can work to negotiate a “declination of prosecution” with the prosecutor’s office.
Mitigating Any Potential Damages
Commonly, police officers will charge individuals with assault and battery. These combined charges should not automatically be placed against you. Assault charges refer to the threat of violence, while battery charges indicate an actual act of physical violence.
The Law Office of Corey I. Cohen & Associates will make sure the crime you allegedly committed fits the charges against you. Your defense attorney may fight for the charges to be dismissed or greatly reduced if law enforcement violated your civil rights in pursuit of additional penalties. When appropriate, we will negotiate for less jail time in exchange for community service or treatment in an anger management program.
