What We Do

Domestic Violence Defense:

There are few issues that affect people as deeply as a Domestic Violence Arrest. It literally can’t get any closer to home. Many times a man or a woman may become violent with their spouse or children, and this is unacceptable and tragic. But seemingly as often, a domestic violence arrest takes place when two family members are arguing and one person wants to manipulate the other; or perhaps the police were called by a neighbor who doesn’t take the time to investigate what really happened.

In these instances, many times the so-called “victim” makes it clear that he or she doesn’t want to prosecute. People call me all the time and tell me they don’t think they need a lawyer because their wife wants to “drop the charges.” What is difficult to understand for a lot of people is that when you are arrested, it is the State of Florida and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office that is bringing charges against them, not the victim.

Because of that, the alleged victim can’t drop the charges, only the State can. This is how an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Miami like Richard A. Stern can truly shine. Through the years of both prosecuting these crimes and defending them, Richard A. Stern has gained the insight needed to know where and how to attack. Even the Pre-Trial Diversion program for Domestic Violence in Miami can be a major inconvenience for many people who may otherwise be able to defeat the case on its merits, and even worse, many people make guilty pleas not knowing how devastating that can be for their lives.
