Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
Q. Can i get my boyfriend battery charges dropped
A: When an allegation of Domestic Violence is made, the State of Florida can proceed with prosecution regardless of whether the alleged victim wants to press charges. However, in most situations, the State Attorney will need to evaluate their case and make a decision on whether they can prove their case without the cooperation of the alleged victim. I suggest talking to a local attorney in your area who can give you some specific guidance.

Good luck to you.
