Every day in Orlando and across Central Florida, arguments between husbands and wives escalate to the point where someone calls police. Once they do, even in cases where no injuries have occurred, the situation becomes immediately serious for the person accused — even if the spouse who complained does not want to press criminal charges.
A conviction for domestic violence at any level can be personally crippling in many ways. Allegations of physical violence or sexual abuse are almost always felony charges, and even misdemeanor domestic violence (DV) can bring consequences such as job loss, forfeiture of your right to have a gun and conditions of bond including being restricted from any contact with your spouse and children.
