Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges?
Were you arrested for domestic violence? When the police are called due to a domestic violence allegation, they almost always arrest the accused person. It is important that you do not give a statement to the police or anyone else until you have contacted a lawyer.
I am attorney Thomas Feiter, and I am former prosecutor for the state of Florida. I have a unique understanding of how these cases are prosecuted, which helps me develop the best defenses available for clients facing domestic violence charges.

Winter Park Battery Defense Attorneys
Domestic violence involves an act or accusation of violence against a person's spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend, or someone in the same household. In Florida, there are two main types of domestic violence charges:
- Battery: Battery is typically a first-degree misdemeanor resulting from an accusation of non-consensual contact with a person or intentionally causing bodily harm to a person. The charge can stem from a minor incident such as grabbing a person's arm.
- Strangulation: Strangulation is a felony charge resulting from an accusation of choking or attempting to choke a person using hands.
A domestic violence arrest can often result in an injunction (restraining order). Even if your spouse or significant other wishes to drop the charges, the prosecution may still fight hard against you. At The Fighter Law Firm, P.A., I understand how extremely inconvenient and upsetting a domestic violence arrest is, as well as the intensive and costly Batterers Intervention Program (BIP) that is mandatory for many people convicted of domestic violence charges.
I know that your family and freedom are important to you, even if you are going through a divorce or other family law matter. I will negotiate with the prosecutors and aggressively work to have your charges reduced or dismissed. Don't let a domestic violence charge affect your job, your custody of your children and other important areas of your life.
