Understand what you’re facing. Know your options. We’ll fight your case.
WHEN YOU ARE ACCUSED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,
MORE THAN YOUR Freedom Is At Risk.
Your relationship with your partner. Your relationship with your children. Your home. Your job. Your record. Your reputation.
A domestic violence accusation can quickly affect who you can see, where you can go, and what happens next for you and your family.
YOUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE MAY ALREADY BE MOVING. YOUR DEFENSE SHOULD BE TOO.
Police reports, statements, 911 recordings, body-camera footage, and other evidence can become part of the case early.
Even if the person who made the accusation wants to drop the charges, that does not necessarily mean the case will go away. In Florida, the State can still move forward with the case.
A no-contact order can also affect who you can see, who you can communicate with, and whether you can return home while your case is pending.
The sooner you understand where your case stands, the sooner you can start making informed decisions and start building your defense.

Meet Elena Blose
For me, criminal defense has never been about simply moving a case from one court date to the next. I’ve spent 14 years practicing criminal defense, including 10 years as a public defender, handling everything from DUI and domestic violence cases to serious felonies and white-collar matters.
Every case is different. I want to hear your side of the story, understand what’s at stake for you, review the evidence, pinpoint the weaknesses, and identify where we might have an opportunity to make a difference.
I’m fully committed to my cases and my clients. I want you to understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what’s going to happen next.
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE RIGHT NOW
Can charges be dropped if the person who made the accusation wants to?
Not necessarily. In Florida, the person who made the accusation does not have the final say over whether the case continues. The State can still move forward even if that person no longer wants to pursue the case.
Can I contact my partner or family after a domestic violence arrest?
It depends on whether a no-contact order or other restriction applies. If the court has ordered no contact, you may be prohibited from communicating with the person named in the order. The specific terms of the order matter, so it is important to understand them before making contact.
What if the accusation is false or the other person changes their story?
A false accusation or a change in the other person’s story does not automatically make the case go away. What each person said, when they said it, and how those statements compare with police reports, 911 recordings, body-camera footage, witness statements, and other evidence can all matter.
What happens if I’m accused of violating a domestic violence restraining order?
Violating a domestic violence restraining order can lead to additional criminal consequences. This can include accusations that you contacted someone, went somewhere the order prohibited you from going, or otherwise violated its terms.
Can a domestic violence charge be reduced or dismissed?
It depends on the facts, the evidence, the specific charge, and how the case develops. An attorney can review what happened and the evidence involved to determine what options may be available in your situation.
How soon should I contact a domestic violence attorney?
As early as possible. Evidence can become part of the case quickly, and restrictions such as a no-contact order can affect what you are allowed to do while the case is pending. Speaking with an attorney early can help you understand where you stand, what restrictions apply, and what may need attention.
Can I go home after a domestic violence arrest?
It depends on the restrictions in your case. A no-contact order or domestic violence injunction can restrict you from returning to a shared home. Before going home, it is important to understand exactly what the court has ordered you to do—or not do.
What happens if there is a no-contact order?
A no-contact order can prevent you from contacting the person named in the order while your case is pending. Depending on the order, this can affect communication and whether you can return to a shared home. Violating the order can create additional legal problems, so it is important to understand exactly what it allows and prohibits.
