Driving Under the Influence

Arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of marijuana or alcohol? Whether you’re a first- or fourth-time offender, we investigate each case individually and strategize the best plan to move forward with. Loopholes can be found in the case of police officers not following specific sobriety test protocols or failing to read you your Miranda rights. DUI charges also include operating a boat under the influence, driving under the influence of prescription drugs or driving intoxicated if under 21. You need a qualified local defense attorney on your side to protect your rights and best interests.

Simple & Aggravated Battery

Battery can be defined as unwanted touching or intentionally striking someone against his or her own will, resulting in bodily harm. To be charged with battery, one must prove intent and that the defendant performed the act voluntarily. An individual’s body can also be extended to include something that was intimately connected to the victim, including a mobile phone, keys, purse or other items held by that person.

Domestic Violence

If you were arrested on the scene of domestic violence and are faced with charges, our attorneys are prepared to handle your legal dispute. Punishment can include fines, restraining orders, probation, and imprisonment depending upon the specific charge.

Drug Possession

The severity and nature of drug possession charges will depend on whether the drug is classified as a Schedule I or Schedule V drug, the amount in possession and whether you are suspected of trafficking, distributing, manufacturing or obtaining it fraudulently without a prescription.

Simple & Aggravated Assault

In the state of Florida, aggravated assault can be defined as a type of assault involving the use of a deadly weapon or intent to commit a felony. The penalties are severe but it remains a defensible charge with common arguments including the absence of physical injury or self-defense.

Sex Offense

Due to the sensitive and complicated nature of a sex offense charge, hiring a criminal defense attorney is vital to avoiding serious and life-changing consequences. These offenses can be divided into three categories: lewd and lascivious acts, sexual battery or rape, and illegal sexual activity with a minor (statutory rape).
