Areas of Practice

We represent clients in all areas of criminal law. We take on cases of persons charged with:

Violent Crimes

A wide range of crimes are considered violent under our penal system. Our attorneys can affect the outcome of many types of violent criminal charges. They ensure that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution and that you are truly presumed innocent until you are proven guilty.

You need to be sure that the assistance you get from your attorney is better than the case filed by the prosecution. Our attorneys can help to determine what charges are filed against you to give you the best chance of winning your case.

The types of violent crimes we help clients with include assault, battery, carrying a concealed weapon, child abuse and domestic violence. We also represent persons charged with a hate crime, homicide, kidnapping, manslaughter or murder. Other charges our lawyers defend their clients against include spousal abuse, stalking, or vehicular manslaughter.

Alcohol- Or Drug-Related Crimes

We defend clients who are charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Traffic Violations

Traffic violations you might face run the gamut from a speeding ticket, to hit and run. Perhaps you are being charged with joyriding, driving with a suspended license, or facing a three strikes law. All of these crimes can be seen from two sides, yours and the prosecution’s. You need the best defense possible when you go to court.

Drug-Related Crimes

Our attorneys have successfully defended many persons charged with drug-related crimes, including possession, smuggling, trafficking, or possession with intent to sell.

Sexual Offenses

Sexual offenses are among the most serious crimes you can be charged with and the consequences of even being charged, much less convicted, can damage a person’s life forever. The Florida Offender Alert System makes your crime public. This can result in your being socially ostracized or making it difficult for you to find employment. The types of sexual offenses we defend against include date rape, rape, sexual assault, child molestation and sex with a minor.

Property Crimes

Our Tallahassee defense attorneys can successfully represent you for everything from vandalism, bank robbery, and grand or petty theft, to carjacking and retail fraud. Other property crimes we will aggressively defend you against include arson, receiving and concealing stolen property, larceny and embezzlement.

White Collar Crimes

We have successfully defended our clients against many types of white collar crimes. These include bribery, fraud, extortion, government corruption, tax fraud, computer hacking, forgery, and money laundering.
