Are You Facing Domestic Abuse Allegations In Florida?
The Rudman Law Group will help you protect your rights and defend against criminal charges, including related injunctions from a protective order or restraining order. These injunctions could bar you from living at home, contacting with your partner and caring for your children as your case proceeds. These orders can also block you from personal contact, including contact via cellphone, text, email or social media.
The firm defends clients against crimes, including:
- Partner assault: If your partner alleges that you have assaulted him or her, you could be arrested and face charges. Rely on the legal team at The Rudman Law Group to help defend you against these serious charges.
- Aggravated assault: Charges involving more violent offenses could rise to the level of aggravated assault. Contact the firm’s defense attorneys for a prudent, appropriate response to these allegations.
- Battery, sexual assault, or sexual assault and battery: Battery charges can lead to even harsher sentences. Crimes involving sexual assault can further increase the potential penalties.
- Kidnapping: Serious charges can follow from kidnapping allegations. If you are accused of abducting a child or partner, you need to have a solid defense team.
- False imprisonment: Holding a person against their will, even if no physical restraint is involved, can be prosecuted in family violence situations. You need experienced attorneys handling your defense strategy.
- Child abuse or neglect: Obviously, any allegation of child abuse or neglect is taken extremely seriously, even if it turns out to be false. Don’t take any chances with your liberty if you are drawn into child abuse claims.
- Stalking: Charges against alleged stalkers can lead to time behind bars upon a conviction. Don’t hesitate to work with experienced defense attorneys if you are facing charges.
- Injunctions or violations of protective injunctions: Your partner might accuse you of violating an order by having unauthorized contact with him or her, or your children. This might even include electronic communication such as through email, phone or social media accounts.
The team at The Rudman Law Group pursues justice with the goal of preserving family relationships whenever possible. They will also work with you to explore alternative sentencing, including anger management, mental health counseling and substance abuse prevention programs.
What Is A No Contact Order?
A no contact order is an order that is issued by the court against someone who’s been arrested for a crime in which a victim is alleged. A lot of times, we see them in domestic violence cases. A no contact order is actually a very serious thing when it’s been issued against you. Any violation of a no contact order is a separate crime and punishable as a misdemeanor. It may also involve the revocation of your bond from when the no contact order was issued to begin with.
Will My Employer Find Out If I Am Convicted Of Domestic Violence?
That’s actually a very complicated question, and I would go to a much larger question, which is: If you’re involved in the criminal justice system at all, will your employer find out? In short, we live in the day and age of computers, and nothing is ever really kept as quiet as we would like it to be. In the past, if we went in and tried to get something expunged or sealed, it was easily done because the file was kept in the local courthouse. Now, because of computers and the internet, information is disseminated almost immediately. Even with an experienced lawyer, it’s still very possible that these private background-check companies, Facebook postings and mugshot companies still have already disseminated your information long before you came in and even spoke to an attorney.

Case Result:
“Charges Dismissed – After a lengthy and tumultuous relationship, their client and his girlfriend decided it was best to part ways. She invited him over to her house to recover his belongings and while there, she began going through his phone. Their client tried retrieving the phone but was clawed at by her. He pushed her back in self-defense and she retaliated by pepper-spraying him. He immediately left the house. Weeks later, their client was arrested on a warrant because she had called police after he left, checked herself into a hospital, and alleged that he strangled her.”
