Under
Florida law, if you have been previously convicted or
received a withhold of adjudication for domestic violence,
simple battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery, then
a new charge of domestic violence will be treated as a
felony. Florida law provides that anyone convicted of
domestic violence must attend and successfully complete a
Batterers Intervention Program as a condition of probation
or house arrest.
The
probationary period, by law, must last a minimum of one
year. This program generally consists of twenty-six
consecutive weeks of counseling, instruction, and
supervision at the Defendants expense. If you have a
concealed weapons permit, and you are arrested for domestic
violence, your privilege to carry a concealed weapon will be
subject to immediate suspension

domestic violence charges or other
criminal defense
issues, we urge you to seek the legal advice of an experienced
Orlando domestic violence defense attorney - lawyer. Contact

consultation.
If you
are caught carrying a concealed weapon at a time that your
permit is under suspension, you risk being charged with a
felony offense that carries penalties of up to five years in
state prison. It is a federal criminal offense to own, use,
or possess a firearm after you have been convicted of
domestic violence.
A
conviction for domestic violence may provide a sufficient
legal basis for the issuance of a permanent restraining
order. Such a restraining order will often include a
restriction prohibiting you from returning to the residence
previously shared with the alleged victim. Any subsequent
violation of the restraining order may not only subject you
to contempt of court proceedings, but also prosecution for a
new criminal offense.
As your legal counsel
we will thoroughly review the evidence against you,
witness statements, police reports, and any other
relevant factors, such as the circumstances of your
arrest and the actions of law enforcement officers. If
there are areas to provide reasonable doubt, our goal is
to find it and present it to the prosecutor, judge
and/or jury.
