Attorneys who will help you avoid penalties
In Florida, prosecutors want to aggressively prosecute all reported incidents of violence in the home, even when the alleged victim does not want to press charges or denies their accusations later on.
Penalties for conviction on assault or domestic violence charges can be severe, including probation, anger management, batterer’s treatment counseling programs and jail or prison. A conviction can affect your rights to see your children, your property rights and your immigration status.
Experience makes the difference
Florida guidelines normally require a "batterer's intervention class" of 26 weeks, during which there can be no contact with the spouse. Mr. Springer opposes these guidelines as often unreasonable and unnecessary. Many times the spouse who is the alleged victim wants the case dismissed, or prefers a "no violent contact" ruling rather than "no contact".
The Law Offices of Richard W. Springer will leverage all of their experience and knowledge of Florida law to protect its clients. Prosecutors have learned that the firm's attorneys are fierce opponents in court, litigating diligently for their clients' innocence and acquittal. This makes it more likely that a negotiated plea before trial, if necessary, will be favorable to their clients.
