Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
If you have been arrested for drinking and driving, your driver's license and reputation are on the line. We have represented numerous people charged with DUI, and have experience challenging the results from field sobriety tests and Intoxilyzer 8000.
Traffic Cases & Violations
A single speeding ticket might not seem like that big of a deal, so why do you need a lawyer? Because each offense results in points on your driver's license. When you accumulate enough points, you could lose your driving privileges. If you have been issued a ticket, we can help you contest it as well as possibly mitigate the impact of previous traffic offenses.

A conviction to a drug charge carries stiff penalties, possibly including jail time and heavy fines. We handle a variety of misdemeanor and felony drug charges, including:
Weapons Charges and Violent Crimes
You cannot afford to have convictions to weapons charges or violent crimes on your record. If you are facing charges for violent crimes, we will defend you. We handle a broad range of these cases, including:
Child Abuse & Neglect
Nothing is more important to you than your children. If accusations of child abuse and neglect are threatening your ability to be in your child's life, you can rely on us to fight back against these devastating charges.
Property Crimes
Whether you are facing charges of criminal mischief or arson, you need a lawyer who can defend your rights in Florida courts. We have handled more than 1,000 criminal cases and will work diligently to keep a property crimes conviction off your record.
White Collar Crime
Your reputation is everything. If you are convicted of a white collar crime, your reputation, job and lifestyle are all on the line. We defend against charges of:
Perjury and Obstruction of Justice
Sometimes, appearing in court can lead to additional legal issues. If you are facing charges of perjury or obstruction of justice, our law firm can represent you. Additionally, we defend people who have been arrested for a probation violation.
