Any subsequent battery charge is punishable as a third-degree felony carrying up to 5 years in prison. If you're charged with battery as a repeat offense, it pays to get help from an experienced Fort Lauderdale felony battery criminal defense lawyer.

You could be charged with the crime of domestic battery by strangulation if authorities believe you intentionally impeded the normal breathing of a partner or family member. Often, domestic issues deteriorate into a “he said, she said” scenario, with the police making an arrest on little evidence.
