Felony Battery Domestic Violence

Palm Beach Felony Battery Domestic Violence Criminal Defense Attorney

Felony battery and domestic battery are special battery charges appropriate in cases of significant bodily harm. Felony battery applies when the victim suffers severe bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement. It is not a defense that the victim is particularly weak and another person may not have suffered the same damage.

Domestic battery by strangulation is specific to cases where the victim is a family member of the accused, someone who shares the same home or someone involved in a dating relationship with the accused. Those charged must be accused of knowingly and intentionally impeding the breathing or blood circulation of the victim. Both domestic battery and felony battery are third-degree felonies penalized by up to five years in prison, making it important to get help from a South Florida felony battery domestic violence criminal defense lawyer right away.
