Criminal Defense for Domestic Violence, Battery or Assault
Destin is a popular tourist destination. People party here on the beaches or in the bars. When things get out of hand and the police are called about domestic violence or battery, you can be certain that somebody will be going to jail.
The law office of R. Scott Whitehead provides experienced defense for domestic violence, assault, battery or other violent crimes. Call us at 850-502-4537 or e-mail us.
The law office of R. Scott Whitehead has handled thousands of criminal defense charges in its more than 11 years of operation in Destin, Florida. We have successfully resolved a significant number of domestic violence, battery and assault cases.
Getting to the Bottom of Your Situation — The Questions We Ask
- Was it self-defense instead of battery? If so, how can we prove that?
- Was it a ploy of a divorcing spouse to get custody of the kids?
- Was it a first offense? Did someone just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?
- Was there alcohol involved and can we help get you into an alcohol program and avoid conviction?
Lawyer R. Scott Whitehead makes sure the prosecutor and others involved in the case see you as an individual and the unique circumstances surrounding the situation. When you have a face and a story, it becomes harder to convict you.
