What Are Domestic Violence Charges?
Domestic violence charges in Florida can include more than just physical abuse—they often cover intimidation, harassment, and restricting a family member’s freedom.

Joseph carefully reviews the prosecution’s case to uncover weaknesses, identify false statements from witnesses, and spot errors made during the investigation.
If a violent act did occur, even in a heated moment, Marc will work to explore options for reduced charges. This could allow you to complete counseling or anger management programs, with the potential for charges to be dismissed or expunged after demonstrating changed behavior. There is hope when you have a dedicated defense. Contact Marc A. Joseph, P.A. today to discuss how he can help protect your future.
What Could Happen to Me if Convicted?
Depending on the details of your case, a jury could convict you of either a misdemeanor or a felony. While misdemeanors often carry shorter jail time and smaller fines, they still can mean time behind bars and significant financial penalties.
In some situations, prosecutors may seek to upgrade the charges to a felony. A felony conviction brings much harsher consequences, including lengthy prison sentences and steep fines. Beyond the immediate penalties, a felony record can affect your ability to find employment, maintain custody of your children, own firearms, enroll in certain schools, and more. Don’t risk these serious consequences alone. Marc A. Joseph, P.A. is ready to defend your rights and protect your future. Contact him today to start building your defense.
