Domestic Violence

Clearwater Domestic Violence and Battery Lawyer

Domestic violence is not viewed by law enforcement the same as any other crime. When you are charged with a crime of violence against a spouse, girlfriend or family member, it may carry far more serious penalties including increased jail time and limited access to children.

At the law office of Joseph Montrone Jr., P.A., Attorney at Law, I approach criminal domestic issues with sensitivity and common sense. Understanding the way that emotionally charged situations can ramp up uncontrollably, my approach is efficient, effective and focused. Contact me today to obtain a free initial consultation.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence cases are handled differently from typical crimes of violence. Because of the domestic arrangement of the alleged perpetrator and the victim, law enforcement officials take a hard line approach when it comes to physical abuse in the home. The assumption that the violence may be on-going or could increase in severity over time means that if you are convicted of a domestic violence charge, you may face serious consequences that go far beyond a restraining order or an injunction. You need an attorney to help you navigate through the legal process.

My Approach

At the law office of Joseph Montrone Jr., P.A., Attorney at Law, I work closely with clients from the outset, finding out what happened early on. By investigating your case early in the process, I can determine what evidence the state may or may not have and, if possible, interview the alleged victim. By acting early in the process, I have been able to help clients make rational decisions about matters that will have long-term effects upon their lives. I work to avoid letting escalated emotions control proceedings and focus my clients on the facts and the law.
