DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS
CENTRAL FLORIDA CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY
We represent individuals charged with criminal offenses. This encompasses everything from
initial encounter with law enforcement and trials through the appellate process
and into sealing and expunging of criminal arrest records. It is very important to speak with an attorney
immediately upon being arrested. Your Rights need to be invoked
immediately to protect you from damaging your possible defenses.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is now one
of the most over-charged offenses. If you have been charged with
Domestic Violence, click above.
Violations
of Probation Many criminal arrests end
up with someone serving probation or community control. Violations
are easy to come by and are serious matters. We also assist people
who wish to terminate their probation
early.
Drug
Charges Drug offenses are very
common and the penalties can be stiff (e.g., two-year drivers license suspension). The defenses are many and usually absolute. Don't plea to a possession charge without consulting an attorney first.
Suspended Licenses/Racing
on Highways Driving on a Suspended
License, Habitual Traffic Offenders, Racing on the Highway.
Property Crimes
Criminal accusations involving theft, trespass, burglary,
and dealing in stolen property.
Juvenile Offenses

adult court. We've represented children accused of crimes for many years. Make
sure your child has all the options available to him/her by the court
system.
Drunk
Driving Driving Under the Influence
is one of the most complicated offenses to defend and one of the most
over charged crimes the state proceeds upon.
Criminal Appeals A plea or finding of guilt
by a jury can be appealed if you notice the court within 30 days of
sentencing.
TO PLEA "NOT GUILTY"
At the first appearance (if in jail) or the
arraignment the judge will determine if there is probable cause and advise you
of the pending charges. He or she may also ask you how you would like to
plea - the answer is always "Not Guilty." This is a legal
term and means you want additional time to decide what to do. By pleading not
guilty you will have time to seek advice from an attorney and determine what
Rights you have.
When talking with an attorney regarding representation,
always be honest and straight forward. Embellishing the facts to make your
case seem better is only self-defeating. Keep in mind that what you say to
an attorney regarding your case is confidential and privileged. Your
attorney is trying to help you and needs to know every bad fact as well as good
fact in order to develop a defense.
Know your rights. We all have the right to remain silent.
It is probably the most important right we have. Utilize it often. Whenever you are being questioned by a law enforcement officer about an offense
that they suspect you committed you should immediately stop talking and ask to speak to an attorney.
It's Constitutional! Be an American and just do it!
