Domestic Violence

SW Florida Domestic Violence Defense

It starts with a few angry words. It escalates into a shouting match. Someone picks up the phone and, the next thing you know, there is a squad car parked in front of your house, a loud knock on your door, and dark days ahead. This is just one of many possible scenarios that can lead to a domestic violence arrest.

One scenario that commonly leads to conviction is waiting too long to hire an attorney. Don't delay. Contact my law office .

At the law offices of Charles M. Harris P.A., I offer clients in Southwest Florida and the Naples-Fort Myers area more than 30 years of legal experience and a law practice that is devoted solely to criminal defense. My domestic violence practice includes:

• Spousal abuse / battery
• Violating injunctions (restraining orders)
• Child physical abuse
• Child endangerment
• Stalking / harassment
• Terrorist threats and intimidation

In recent years, domestic violence has become a very sensitive issue. As a result, Florida has become very interested in reducing the state's domestic violence statistics. This in turn has caused mere spats between married couples to end up in arrests and in people being unfairly shut out of their own lives. As a lawyer, there is a lot that I can do to protect you from this. However, you do have to contact me first. My firm handles both the criminal defense aspects of these cases and can also represent you in seeking to have a temporary or permanent injunction against you lifted.
