What happens in the first 72 hours shapes the rest of the case.
DUIs, drug charges, weapons offenses, sex crimes, federal indictments, asset forfeiture, and record sealing. We defend the person — and the record that follows them.
Jump to a specific Criminal Defense matter
Criminal Defense — full scope.
Criminal defense is not just courtroom advocacy — it is early-stage strategy: bail arguments, suppression motions, discovery fights, and charge negotiations. We do all of them with equal seriousness.

Start Your ReviewYou were just arrested
Do not make a statement. Do not consent to a search. Call counsel immediately.
You received a target letter
Federal target letters indicate an indictment may be imminent. Response strategy starts now.
Police want to 'ask you a few questions'
A non-custodial interview is still evidence. Bring counsel or decline.
You're on probation and missed a condition
Self-surrender with counsel is materially better than a warrant arrest.
You want to seal or expunge a closed case
Many Florida adults qualify and never realize it.
The measurable benefits of being represented.
Early motions win cases
Motions to suppress evidence obtained through unlawful searches or statements routinely end prosecutions before trial.
Plea negotiation is litigation
A skilled defense lawyer negotiates the record — not just the sentence. Charge reductions matter years later in employment and immigration.
Immigration-aware defense
For non-citizen clients, we weigh every disposition against immigration consequences. The 'easy plea' is often not easy at all.
What makes this our practice.
Every practice area is led by an attorney who actually litigates in that space — not a generalist borrowing time.
Federal and state practice under one roof.
We handle sealing & expungement on a flat fee.
Direct attorney contact — no intake call center.
Answers that cite the statute.
Do I have to take a breathalyzer in Florida?
Florida's implied-consent law means refusal can trigger a license suspension, but the decision has strategic and evidentiary consequences either way. Counsel can advise in real time.
What's the difference between sealing and expungement?
Sealing hides the record from most public view; expungement removes it from public records entirely. Eligibility depends on the charge and disposition.
