If you find yourself in need of a criminal lawyer, you are probably thinking what do I do now that I have been arrested? You are frantically searching online for “defense attorneys near me.” And, you are dealing with it all, while secretly hoping that your court case will just “go away.”
Many of the criminal cases we handle do “go away” or are reduced. Call us today to see if we can make your case “go away”.
Criminal Law
If you are charged with a criminal act or under investigation, it is extremely important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. The earlier you obtain sound legal counsel, the more options you may have and the better your outcome will be.
DUI Arrests (Driving Under the Influence)
Don’t just go to court and plead guilty to “get it over with” on a DUI charge. If you have heard stories about people who have “gotten out” of their DUI’s, it’s because the likely hired an attorney to work their case. DUI’s are some of the most legally technical of all criminal cases. Don’t just hire the cheapest lawyer you can find.
Drug Possession
Don’t be fooled by anyone’s advice. Drug charges are serious and can prevent you from things later in life that you may want to do. They should always be handled by an experienced attorney who is fighting for you and can strategize the best defense for your particular case.
Immigration Law
The United States Citizenship & Immigration Service reports that 67% of all applications and petitions filed without legal counsel are DENIED. This happens because immigration law is one of the most complex areas of law in the United States. That’s why you need experienced attorneys who can help you through the immigration process by minimizing the confusion and cutting through red tape and excessive paperwork.
Domestic Battery
Florida Statutes require the police to take allegations of domestic battery very seriously. But, just because you were arrested does not mean the state will file formal charges. However, you will be required to sit in jail with no bond until you appear before a judge. You must make sure, as soon as you can, to hire an attorney before you receive a court date to minimize your chances of a bad outcome in your case.
Evictions
Landlord and tenant relationships can be complicated and contentious. Disputes can easily arise between even responsible and well-meaning lessors and lessees. When this occurs, you need an experienced landlord/tenant attorney to protect your rights. Whether you are a landlord or a renter, and whether your dispute involves commercial or residential rental property, we can help.
Juvenile Law
Juvenile Criminal Law is different than Adult Criminal Law. There are different rules, different punishments, and different ways to defend your child against charges. A good juvenile criminal attorney knows these differences.
