Why Seek Immediate Legal Counsel for Criminal Defense?

Almost any criminal matter has the potential to change your life forever. Even if you are under investigation for a crime and no charge has been filed, law enforcement will be actively working to gather enough evidence to arrest and charge you with the crime. From the instant law enforcement contacts you or you become aware that you are the subject of an investigation, it is vital to consult a legal professional. In some cases, a criminal defense attorney in Tampa, Clearwater and St Pete can positively impact the outcome of your case by becoming involved in the pre-file investigation part of the case.

This can be achieved by negotiating with the prosecution or supplying evidence in your favor that discourages the prosecuting attorney from filing formal charges against you. In these matters, the early intervention of an experienced criminal defense attorney from Hillsborough County or Pinellas County may save you time, money and the emotional trauma associated with a criminal trial.

The same is true in cases of personal injury (such as a car accident). From the moment your accident is reported, insurance companies are working against you to minimize or decline your accident claim. That is why it is vital to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer in St Pete, Clearwater and Tampa when you are involved in any type of accident.

Our criminal defense attorneys defend many types of cases:

• Drug offenses—A charge anywhere from drug possession to drug trafficking.

• Domestic violence—Abuse or assault to a spouse. In some cases, the defendant has found themselves wrongly accused by the “victim.”

• Violent crimes—This charge can include threats, force or injury upon another person and can result in one year to a life sentence.

• Juvenile representation—In these cases, it is important the minor’s parents obtain a criminal defense attorney to represent the defendant because they are unable to do so themselves.

• Driving under the influence—This charge is for drinking while intoxicated and can result in suspension of license, fines and even jail time.

• First time offenders—A defense attorney is important in these cases to help the defendant through the court system processes.

• Theft crimes—Ramifications for theft crimes, whether they are for petty theft or embezzlement, can result in fines or mandatory jail time.

• Guns and weapons offenses—This is one of the most serious crimes in Florida and holds severe penalties. Legal representation is vital.

• Violation of probation—Breaching the terms of probation can result in the defendant having their entire probation revoked, and possibly end up back in jail.

• Sealing and Expungement—Sealing your records is important. If you have a record to avoid your past interfering with your future, our attorneys can look at your case to determine if you are eligible for this or not.
