Experienced Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges in Florida
Allegations of domestic violence can carry serious legal, personal, and professional consequences—even before a conviction. At John Grace Law, P.A., we provide aggressive and strategic defense for clients accused of domestic battery, aggravated assault, verbal abuse, or violating domestic injunctions. Serving Jacksonville, Duval County, and surrounding areas, we are committed to protecting your rights and your future.
Understanding Florida Domestic Violence Laws
Under Florida Statutes § 741.28, domestic violence includes assault, battery, stalking, kidnapping, or other criminal offenses committed by one family or household member against another. These cases often involve complex interpersonal dynamics, false accusations, or disputes escalated during emotional moments. We represent clients charged with:
- Domestic battery and aggravated battery
- Violation of restraining or no-contact orders
- False allegations of emotional or verbal abuse
- Domestic violence with a weapon or during a custody dispute
Defending Against False or Exaggerated Allegations
We build defenses around self-defense, lack of intent, factual inconsistencies, and constitutional violations, including unlawful arrest or coerced statements. If law enforcement acted improperly or failed to investigate thoroughly, we will bring those facts to light in court.
Immediate Legal Help in Domestic Cases
A domestic violence arrest often leads to mandatory no-contact orders, loss of custody rights, and restrictions on firearm possession under Florida Statutes § 790.233. We act quickly to contest protective orders and advocate for pretrial release when possible.
