Sarasota Criminal Law Lawyer

The Uniform Crime Report, compiled by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, reports that nearly 18,000 people were arrested within Sarasota County in 2009. Although this number is significantly down from the number of arrests that took place in 2008, more than 75 percent of those arrested and charged with a crime were convicted.

Criminal convictions almost always result in severe penalties such as imprisonment, expensive fines, community services and/or permanent marks on a person’s criminal record. People who are convicted of a crime often face other seriously devastating personal repercussions that are not officially sentenced by courts, such as loss of a career and loss of close, intimate relationships.
