TILDEN LAW – Orlando Criminal Attorney

Tilden Law was recently hired to defend a client in a Domestic Violence Injunction hearing in Orange County, Florida.  Domestic Temporary Restraining Orders “TRO” are commonly sought by individuals who are in fear of repeat or future violence from another and there is a domestic relationship between the parties either by marriage, blood or shared residence.

Our client a resident of New York, was served with a restraining order from Orange County Circuit Court as a result of allegations of violence and threats made by his daughter, an Orlando resident.  Contained in the court file were 67 pages of documents and affidavits in support of the petitioner’s position and request for the temporary injunction to be made permanent. 

During the cross examination of the petitioner at the hearing, Mr. Tilden showed that there were no credible threats to support her allegations. As a result of our efforts, the judge entered a order dismissing the injunction at the conclusion of the hearing.

A judge sentenced Chris Brown to five years probation and six months community labor for the beating of Rihanna an issued a stern admonition to the singer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told brown he could be sent to state prison if he violated any term of his sentence, including an order to stay away from the pop star for the next five years.

Brown will serve his sentence in his home state of Virginia. The judge says she wanted to ensure that Brown, 20, performs physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people. A felony charge of making criminal threats was dropped. Rihanna did not attend the sentencing.

A Casselberry police officer was suspended after his arrest on a charge of battering his wife according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The wife of the 37 year old officer ran to a neighbor’s house with her 4 year old son and said her husband had slammed her head on a kitchen counter. The couple had been apparently arguing over an affair the husband was involved in when the wife called his girlfriend a name. The officer became enraged and carried her from their bedroom to the kitchen where he slammed her head onto a granite counter top. The wife had a lump on her head and a bruise on her biceps according to a deputy.  Casselberry police confiscated his police car, gear and gun and his AR-15 rifle.
