Skillful and Intelligent Approach

  • thorough review of evidence in your case – we will collect, and properly request when necessary, the evidence being used against you at trial and go over any evidence you have as well
  • investigate and find evidence that supports our defense – we will investigate and retrieve any evidence we feel could be most effective and most useful in court in your defense and prepare any witnesses for trial that are favorable to our case.
  • challenge the prosecutors case – we will request and review police reports, body cam and dash cam footage, forensic evidence, looking for inaccuracies, incompleteness and misconstruing of facts
  • cross-examination of witnesses at trial – we will question your accusers and any witness on behalf of the case or opposing part to uncover contradictions, biases, and ulterior motives that otherwise explain their testimony in full light.
  • Negotiation and pre-trial advocate – we will seek to negotiate a favorable plea agreement or settlement with the prosecution, as well as seek a dismissal or reduction to charges or punishment, hoping to resolve the matter short of a trial.
  • Expert witnesses – when necessary we will obtain expert witnesses to support your defense so that the judge or jury better understands the importance of complex evidence
  • discretion in approach to advocacy – we will work to ensure that people who know about your situation or our defense is made in the utmost discretion in order to protect your privacy and reputation now and in the future, as well as in keeping our defense most effective.

How Can a Domestic Violence Case be Dropped?

Wichman Law Firm has helped hundreds of clients over the years charged with some form of domestic violence and/or a restraining order, with many of those cases being dismissed or “dropped”. Sometimes this is able to happen prior to filing of charges, but more often it occurs after the filing of a domestic violence charge because the person has already been charged while sitting in jail after the initial arrest and before they have had an opportunity to reach out to us. Miami Attorney Wichman has the experience and expertise in handling these more sensitive types of criminal charges and is skilled at working the nuances in bringing these matters to a successful conclusion for his clients. Too often the district attorney’s office will try to get a result and guilty conviction on an exceptionally weak case, and will not change their mind. We help greatly in these situations and it is a great benefit to those in this situations to call us an hire us as quickly possible to look to get the case dropped or dismissed prior to trial, and if need be do the trial to seek an not guilty ruling by the court and to avoid any domestic violence conviction.

Types of Domestic Violence and Common Ways it is Charged in Miami, Florida

When abuse occurs between family members or those living together, such as former or current significant others, husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, fiancé and fiancee, child, parent, sibling, aunt, cousin, or grandparent, or have a child in common, and even just roommates, the law looks at this relationship and categorizes it for criminal statute purposes as domestic in nature. If a child observes the abuse of one of the parents by the other then this can aggravate the matter and perhaps be its own charge towards the child. While women are the most common victims, men can also be as well. With stereotypes in these situations comes also the exploitation of them, leading often to men often being most often wrongly accused, although women may be as well. Criminal Defense and Domestic Violence Attorney Kevin Wichman is experienced in handling these sensitive domestic violence situations and bringing them to their proper conclusion and result, with a win at trial, a favorable plea agreement, or a dismissal.
