In Fort Pierce, Criminal lawyers know DUI'S, Drugs, Prescription Fraud,Internet Crimes, and Unjust Battery charges dominate the news headlines. If you are charged with these or any other crimes, you must find the most talented, experienced team of legal professionals to obtain the best results.
The Law Office of Jeffrey H. Garland, P.A. is a Professional Association featuring Jeffrey H. Garland, a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer serving the Treasure Coast of Florida since 1981, and who provides the highest levels of representation in Criminal Defense, Marital Law, and Personal Injury cases.
The practice is in both State and Federal courts, representing the innocent and falsely accused on a variety of criminal matters, including unjust battery charges, conspiracy, prescription fraud, narcotics, forfeitures, and DUI prosecutions.
Police make arrests and prosecutors pursue formal charges based upon assumptions about evidence and how that evidence relates to a given case. By nature and training, Jeffrey H. Garland does not idly accept evidence, until it has been examined and tested. Unlike many attorneys, Mr. Garland has scientific training which allows him to work with qualified experts to identify, challenge and expose erroneous law enforcement assumptions.
Since 1981, Mr. Garland has focused his practice on criminal defense. He has utilized his knowledge of technical and scientific principles to win cases:

In a DUI manslaughter case, the FDLE laboratory found the accused's blood to be "positive" for marijuana. Mr. Garland exposed the analyst's error. The analyst had e-mailed another person's results to a laboratory mail box intended for the accused's test results. The subsequent internal investigation documented the error and proved that there was no cannabis.
In a computer porn case, a computer expert at U.S. Customs provided key evidence leading to the arrest of the accused. Mr. Garland exposed the fact that the expert had made a serious error: He "tripped the jumper". This error effectively reset the computer's internal clock, which made the prosecution impossible. <
In a first degree murder case, a medical examiner established a time of death using, in part, his determination of the water temperature where the body was recovered. Mr. Garland undermined this testimony by revealing that the medical examiner actually used a turkey thermometer to test the water temperature. Further, Mr. Garland learned that the medical examiner tested only the surface temperature, not at the most likely depth where the weighted body might have been.
In a DUI case, a young Port St. Lucie police officer claimed that she had observed the accused for at least 20 minutes before administering a breath test. Using 911 records and jail security video, Mr. Garland demonstrated that the officer arrived at and left the jail in just 16 minutes. The breath test results were inadmissible.
In an assault on a federal employee case, the postal inspectors maintained that a "stun gun" was a deadly weapon. Mr. Garland employed a bio-electrical engineer to test and evaluate the weapon. The engineer concluded that the stun gun was unlikely to cause serious injury.
In a felony VOP, the probationer was charged with a urinalysis positive for methamphetamine. Mr. Garland employed a toxicologist to demonstrate that the State's testing could not discriminate between dextro-methamphetamine, which is illegal, and levo-methamphetamine, which is not. Since the test results were not inconsistent with the use of a Vick's inhaler, the VOP warrant was dismissed.
