Criminal Law

A criminal charge is one of the most serious legal situations a person can face. The consequences — fines, probation, a permanent criminal record, and potential incarceration — can affect every area of your life, from your career and housing to your family and reputation.

Your Rights Matter

Every person facing a criminal charge deserves representation that balances the significant resources of the prosecution. Key constitutional protections — the right to remain silent, access to legal counsel, and a fair trial — must be safeguarded throughout arrest, arraignment, pretrial motions, plea negotiations, and trial. We make sure they are.

Types of Criminal Law Cases We Handle

DUI Defense

DUI Defense

We examine traffic stop legality, sobriety test administration, breathalyzer calibration, evidence chain of custody, and constitutional protections. Florida penalties include license suspension, fines, education, probation, and incarceration — even for first offenses.

Drug Charges

Drug Charges

Defense covers possession, possession with intent to distribute, trafficking, prescription drug offenses, and charges arising from unlawful searches. Many drug cases hinge on the legality of the search that produced the evidence.

Assault and Violent Crime Defense

Assault and Violent Crime Defense

Representation includes assault, battery, domestic violence, weapons charges, and theft offenses. We conduct independent investigations and witness interviews where the prosecution did not.

Misdemeanor and Felony Defense

Misdemeanor and Felony Defense

We handle the full criminal spectrum — from misdemeanors to felonies with mandatory minimums.

Expungements and Record Sealing

Expungements and Record Sealing

A past arrest or conviction can follow you for years, affecting employment, housing, and licensing. Where eligible, we petition the court to seal or expunge the record.
