Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer in Pembroke Pines, FL

Domestic violence charges carry immediate consequences — including a no-contact order and mandatory arrest. Attorney Tyler Williams fights to protect your rights, reputation, and family.

A domestic violence accusation in Broward County, Miami-Dade, or anywhere in South Florida is unlike any other criminal charge. Under Florida Statute 741.28, law enforcement is required to make an arrest if they have probable cause to believe domestic violence occurred — even if the alleged victim doesn’t want to press charges. Once arrested, a no-contact order is typically imposed immediately, which means you may not be able to return home, see your children, or communicate with your spouse or partner.

Having handled dozens of domestic violence cases across South Florida, I understand the unique dynamics these charges create. Many accusations arise from misunderstandings, heated arguments, or situations where both parties share responsibility. Some are fabricated in the context of custody disputes or divorce proceedings. Whatever the circumstances, you deserve an aggressive defense.

I investigate the facts, challenge the alleged victim’s account, review 911 recordings and body camera footage, and work to get the no-contact order modified so you can return to your life while we fight the charges.
