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".

Prosecutors have learned that the firm's attorneys won't stand down in court, litigating diligently for their clients' innocence and acquittal.
