Florida Law on Domestic Violence: Know Your Rights Even If the Victim Drops Charges

Описание: Can you be prosecuted for domestic violence even if the victim doesn’t press charges? Criminal defense attorney Albert Quirantes explains how the prosecution process works in Florida. Many people believe that if a victim refuses to cooperate, the case will be dropped. However, the decision is in the hands of the State Attorney’s Office, not the victim. Prosecutors can still pursue charges, enforce subpoenas, and use collected evidence against you.

If you've been arrested for domestic violence, don’t go to court alone! Watch this video to learn how to protect your rights and what steps to take if you find yourself facing these serious allegations.
