Our Criminal Attorneys Serve all of Orange, Seminole, Lake, Volusia and Osceola Counties
When faced with serious criminal charges, you need serious defense representation. A criminal arrest is no laughing matter. If you are ultimately found guilty of the charges, you could face imprisonment, large fines, probation, and the loss of certain rights. In addition, your personal life and reputation are also likely to suffer as well. Depending on your charges, you may experience difficulty finding a job, taking advantage of certain financial opportunities, and discrimination or alienation from your friends, family, and neighbors.
Do not let your charges spiral out of control and into a conviction that may ruin your life. An experienced Orlando criminal defense lawyer at our firm can uphold your rights and aggressively defend you against your charges. With many years of experience in criminal defense, we feel we are more than qualified to handle even the most complex and challenging felony and misdemeanor cases. As former prosecutors, we are familiar with how the prosecuting attorneys will likely prepare their case, and therefore know which defense strategies would be most effective in fighting your charges. Should you retain our services, you can trust that we will be by your side every step of the way, aggressively defending you against the prosecutions accusations and protecting your best interests.
Hiring a Criminal Attorney
Choosing a criminal attorney can be difficult, particularly with the number of law firms in the Orlando area. You may wish to review the firm's accomplishments and case results and may also wish to review the background and experience of the lawyer you will be working with. Your personal feeling about the attorney is also important. Because this is a complex legal matter and you will be working closely with your lawyer, we believe it is important that you feel comfortable with your choice. Because our firm offers a free consultation, this gives you the chance to discuss your case with a legal professional who can give you insight into the matter. It also enables you to learn more about our particular firm so you can determine whether you would like to utilize our criminal defense services.
When should you hire a lawyer? We recommend at least talking to a legal professional as soon as possible. Even if formal charges have not been filed against you at this time, you may be in danger of facing criminal charges in the near future, and an attorney can begin working to protect your legal rights at any stage of your case. In fact, with criminal defense counsel early on you may be able to avoid formal charges altogether. This applies even in cases where you have been contacted for "questioning" by law enforcement, if you have already been arrested or if you believe you are the subject of a criminal investigation. An Orlando criminal lawyer can review the matter and determine how to approach your case to help you avoid any negative consequences.
Criminal Defense: Practice Areas
We handle all types of criminal cases throughout Orlando and the surrounding areas for those who have been arrested for the first time and for defendants who already have criminal records. We take on cases of all kinds, including those involving:

In any of these legal matters, a defendant may be at risk of facing serious criminal penalties. We understand that much is on the line, and this is why we are committed to providing personalized service and aggressive legal counsel to each and every one of our clients. When an Orlando criminal attorney at our law offices helps with your case, you will experience the difference of knowledgeable and dedicated counsel. For example, we will conduct a thorough investigation into every aspect of your charges. We may uncover information that indicates that you may have been the victim of an unreasonable search and seizure, and your attorney may be able to use this to have key evidence suppressed from your trial so it cannot be used as direct evidence against you. Although this is just an example, this single action may mean that the entire case will turn around in your favor.
