Team Approach to Criminal Defense

No matter what you have been arrested for, you need to find an attorney who understands your circumstanes whether they be:

• DUI-related crimes, including first-time DUI, multiple DUI, felony DUI, and more
• Drug crimes, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and prescription medication such as “oxy”
• Assault and battery
• Domestic violence
• Sex crimes
• Theft and burglary-related crimes
• Traffic-related crimes, including criminal traffic violations and habitual traffic offender status

A team approach to criminal defense allows us to draw on the strengths of each attorney. Different lawyers have a wide variety of experience which could include public defense as well as prosecutorial experience. This allows them to see both sides of a case. From there, a lawyer will work hard to craft an individualized defense that takes both sides into account.

Fight Your Charges and Protect Your Reputation

When you are charged with a criminal offense, the Florida District Attorneys make the decision to prosecute that offense as a felony or as a misdemeanor. Felony offenses are regarded as more severe than misdemeanor offenses, and as a result generally involve harsher and lengthier legal consequences. However, it is important to note that both felonies and misdemeanors can appear on your criminal record. Having a criminal record can place limits on future career, education, and housing opportunities.

Look for a firm that is known for the relationships they have developed with other industry professionals and knowledge of the court system and legal procedures. They will be able to put those assets to work on your behalf.
