Clearwater Criminal Attorneys

Assault & Battery

Serving in Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties with law offices also in Largo, Holiday & Palm Harbor

Being charged with a violent crime is a very serious matter.  If you stand accused of assault or battery, you will likely face an experienced prosecutor who is determined to put you behind bars.  Your freedom is on the line, and an expert legal defense is essential.  Make the best choice of criminal attorneys in Clearwater to protect you from the full force of government prosecution and its consequences.

The Law Offices of Kantaras and Andreopoulos have the skill and experience to defend you against charges of:

Aggravated assault with a weapon Aggravated battery with a weapon Resisting arrest with violence

Felony battery that causes bodily injury Assault or battery against the elderly Domestic violence against a spouse, child, girlfriend, boyfriend or roommate

Most assault and battery incidents take place away from the presence of law enforcement personnel.  Therefore, they rely on the word of participants and witnesses, some of whom may have motive to lie.

False accusations can lead to prosecution

Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking the truth will set you free, because that doesn’t always happen.  False allegations of domestic violence occur frequently in Florida, and responding officers may have no way of knowing which party is telling the truth, or who is leaving out key elements of the incident.  Regardless, these cases are prosecuted vigorously and sometimes an innocent person is convicted.  The danger of this rises dramatically in the absence of good legal representation.

We defend you rigorously, scheduling depositions of witnesses and officers, determining your best defense, picking the best possible jury, and making sure your side of the story is told forcefully and credibly.  Our Clearwater criminal law attorneys give you the best options for defense and make sure your case is well represented.

If a favorable plea bargain is not possible or preferable, we take your case to trial and defend you skillfully.  Together, we minimize your chances of facing bad consequences by pursuing all possible legal options to negotiate, or litigate, a favorable outcome or settlement of your case.
