Our Approach to a Criminal Defense & drunk driving defense practice
As criminal lawyers, we know that what matters most to the client is the end result. And if you are the one faced with criminal charges, you want to know that you have a lawyer that is actively working for that best possible result, for the sake of you and your family.
You may have a lot at stake – your career, your business, or your professional license. You never thought that someday you might need a criminal defense attorney to help you, but one thing is for sure, you do need help.
I have represented individuals from nearly every profession, doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, military members, pilots, students, and professional athletes.
The consequences of a criminal conviction can be severe, notwithstanding a jail sentence; it could affect future education plans, job promotions, your military service record, your right to vote and own or carry a firearm, and your ability to drive. Getting the best result also means working diligently to minimize the collateral consequences of the criminal arrest.
Out of State clients
If you were here visiting the Ft. Walton Beach or Destin area on vacation and were arrested for assault or battery, Sexual Battery, DUI (and DUI Hearing to get your license back), BUI, Minor in Possession of Alcohol (MIP), Possession of Controlled Substance, Possession of Marijuana, Domestic Violence Battery, disorderly conduct, such as a bar fight, sex crimes, Shoplifting or Theft, traffic tickets such as hit and run or fleeing & eluding police, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief, Solicitation, illegal display of a firearm, warrants or bail bond issues please contact my office to discuss your case. I have helped countless clients resolve their Florida criminal cases.
Additionally, I have found that with most misdemeanor charges, your case can be resolved with the best result possible–without even the need for you to return to Florida to appear in court. This will save you the time and expense of traveling back and forth. For felony matters, I will work to minimize your need to travel by formally waiving your appearance through the preliminary hearings, but will keep you informed about all aspects of your case through phone, email, U.S. mail, fax, Skype, and other forms of communication.
