A no-contact order is a court-imposed restriction prohibiting communication or contact with the alleged victim while the case is pending. Violating a no-contact order can lead to additional criminal charges and significantly more serious legal consequences, even if the alleged victim initiates contact themselves.
Not automatically. Florida prosecutors can proceed even if the victim recants or refuses to testify. However, a lack of victim cooperation significantly affects the strength of the prosecution’s case, and our attorneys know how to leverage this in your defense.
Yes. Visible injuries are not required for a domestic violence arrest in Florida. Allegations alone, combined with witness statements or officer observations, may be enough for law enforcement to make an arrest under Florida’s mandatory arrest policy.
Yes, permanently at the federal level. Even a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction triggers a lifetime prohibition on firearm possession under the Lautenberg Amendment. This is one of the most serious and least reversible collateral consequences of these charges, and it makes early, aggressive defense critical.
False accusations in domestic violence cases, often arising during contentious divorces or custody disputes, are more common than prosecutors acknowledge. Our firm investigates aggressively, gathers contrary evidence, and challenges inconsistencies in the accuser’s account to expose the full picture.
A domestic violence charge or injunction can significantly affect your divorce proceedings, including temporary custody arrangements, time-sharing, and asset decisions. Mayersohn Law Group handles both the criminal and family law dimensions simultaneously when needed, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Domestic violence cases involve both criminal and family law consequences, making them more complex than many other criminal matters. An experienced defense attorney can help protect not only your freedom, but also your reputation, career, parental rights, firearm rights, and future opportunities, all at once.
A hearing on whether to make a temporary injunction permanent is typically scheduled within 15 days of the temporary order being issued. At that hearing, both sides have the opportunity to present evidence and testimony. The outcome can determine whether you are allowed to return home, resume contact with your children, and keep your firearms. Preparation for this hearing must begin immediately, and having an attorney represent you makes a significant difference in the outcome.
