Judge Dismisses Injunction Against Domestic Violence And State Dismisses Battery Charge

March 22, 2016

A Miami-Dade County resident retained DMT to defend an injunction against domestic violence and a domestic violence battery charge. The legal team at DMT obtained the surveillance video from the home to refute the allegations made by the client's wife and two of her children. Additionally, DMT obtained the 911 transmission tapes which bolstered the credibility of our client.


The wife accused our client of striking her in the face with a closed fist. With the assistance of the video, the 911 transmissions, and the testimony of our client's daughter, the domestic violence judge dismissed the injunction after a three hour hearing on the matter. The criminal defense lawyers at DMT obtained the transcript of the hearing and presented it to the county prosecutor handling the misdemeanor battery case. After several meetings, the prosecutor questioned the veracity of the victim and her witnesses and dismissed all of the charges pending against our client. Through our aggressive approach to the case, our attorneys convinced the judge and the state that our client acted in self-defense resulting in the dismissal of both cases.
