Time Is of the Essence When Facing Criminal Charges
In my experience, people are wise to seek legal advice as soon as possible after it's clear they're in trouble with the law. In many kinds of cases, especially sex crimes and domestic violence, weeks or months might pass between a police interview, an arrest and the filing of formal charges by a prosecuting attorney. This period is a great time for your defense lawyer to go to work on your behalf with the objective of preventing the most serious potential charges from ever being filed.
I represent people throughout the Tampa Bay Area — including visitors from out of state — facing a wide variety of criminal-related issues, including those involving:
- Weapons crimes
- Sex crimes
- Sex offenses involving minors
- Computer sex crimes
- Child abuse
- Drug charges involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth or prescription painkillers
- Assault
- Florida drug trafficking charges
- DUI and serious traffic offenses
- Domestic violence
- Violations of domestic violence injunctions
- Theft, fraud and property crimes
- Felony or misdemeanor charges against people visiting on business, vacation or spring break
