Criminal Defense to Spousal Abuse in Orlando
Once you have been charged, you are typically placed on a restraining order. You will be denied any contact with your abused spouse and will be ordered to complete a batterer’s intervention program. The other penalties you will face will depend upon whether you caused serious bodily harm, whether these acts have been continual, and whether you have a history of abusive behavior.
If you have been charged with spousal abuse in Orlando, there could be defenses available to you including:
- The incident did not rise to the level of criminal spousal abuse
- The complaint was motivated by revenge or a desire for leverage in a divorce case
- Alcohol and drug abuse and their role in a domestic dispute
A large number of charges related to spousal abuse are considered misdemeanors and the penalties can include 6 months to a year in jail. In some instances, you could be charged with a felony and face an extended period of time in prison, especially if there was a weapon present during the altercation.

"I highly recommend Mr. Mazin, he definitely is top notch and of the very best."Great attorney. In search of an attorney we had came across Mr. Mazin. We reached out after reading reviews, as most of us do, and he immediately took my phone call. We were in a desperate situation and needed an attorney almost immediately. Not only did he review the case while on the phone with me, but made sure to even reach out to others who were involved within the case. We hadn't signed a contract or made a payment and he had done more for us than several other attorneys that we had spoken with. I explained the details in reference to the case and he asked that I send him anything that he could review and give his legal expertise. I was utterly shocked. He's extremely polite, diligent, and more so he's worth every dollar. He let's you know from the get go, that when you invest into him, he makes you family. He treats your case as if he were going through it himself or a close relative. He advised our family and educated us on how these upcoming court proceedings would happen, and made sure to let us know that he would work with us in any way possible.- Angela V.

"Lyle represented a very good friend of mine and made a miracle happen, in a time where it seemed impossible."While being on 5 years probation, Lyle not only got a drug charge dropped but he also got his probation terminated, something we could have never imagined happening! My friend is back in county again on another charge and if it wasn’t for Lyle getting the probation terminated, we’d be looking at a very long prison sentence. Lyle is a 15/10, don’t look any further if you’re looking for a reliable and respectful lawyer who will make the impossible happen. TRUST ME!- Faye H.
