Advocating for Clients Facing Charges of Domestic Violence
Representing a client in a domestic violence case goes beyond just the practice of law. Legal matters that involve physical violence against a family member or significant other also bring emotional factors into play. In addition to aggressive representation, you need a high level of dedication and compassion from your attorney.
At Graves & Spivey, P.A., we will be your advocate by putting aside the emotional elements of a domestic violence allegation and getting to the facts.
An argument that gets out of hand can result in one family member being removed from the house and placed under arrest. For help in a domestic violence matter, contact us at 352-508-1186.
Representing Both the Victims and Those Accused of Domestic Violence
A conviction on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge may bring a minimum jail sentence of five days. Many felonies are also charged in the domestic context. At Graves & Spivey, P.A., we often meet with the alleged victim of the crime. The husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend often wants the charges dropped or would prefer more lenient treatment of the accused.
Combining Experience With Knowledge of the Legal Process in Florida Counties
The "he said / she said" nature of domestic violence cases bring challenges. You need a local attorney who knows the law and has worked with Lake County and Sumter County prosecutors and judges. We are regular fixtures in the county courthouses and we know how to build a strategy based on the prosecutor's strategy.
In the end, we fight for the best outcome so a couple or family can move on from an incident of domestic violence.
