Client was charged with battery after allegedly slapping their spouse. There was no physical evidence and the alleged victim's story was inconsistent. The case was No Actioned before client ever had to step into a courtroom.

Client was charged with two counts of battery after allegedly attacking their spouse and mother-in-law. There was surveillance footage of the alleged incident, but we were able to demonstrate a pattern of abuse by both the mother-in-law and the spouse which, although not a self-defense claim, justified the actions of client.

Client was arrested for allegedly shooting at another vehicle during a road rage incident. The alleged victim was unable to identify client, but client's own family was able to place client at the scene. The State offered five years in Florida prison and threatened that if client did not accept the offer, the charges would be up-filed to attempted murder. We rejected the State's offer and, after speaking to the prosecutor and convincing him that client's family would not be the best witnesses to put on the stand, the State dismissed all charges.

Client was arrested for driving under the influence due to crashing into two vehicles causing property damage as well as injury to passengers. Client retained our firm and we filed a Motion to Suppress statement that client had alcoholic beverages prior to the accident. The motion to suppress was granted and we set the case for trial. Prior to trial, the State offered to change the charge to a Reckless Driving, but client did not want anything on their record. The day of trial, the State dismissed two counts of DUI with Property Damage/Injury and proceeded to trial on one count of DUI with Property Damage/Injury and one count of DUI. After two days of jury trial, the jury found client Not Guilty of both charges.

Client was charged and spent seven months in custody before retaining our firm, facing up to life in prison.

After speaking to the prosecutor in charge and providing documentation that the hemorrhage was discovered weeks prior, the State dropped all charges against our client.

Client was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by police. Subsequent to the stop, police dispatched for a K-9 officer to arrive on scene. The K-9 alerted to the presence of weapons and a firearm was located underneath client's seat. Client was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm. After several weeks of communicating with the pre-file prosecutor and explaining why there was no legal basis to arrest my client as well as no proof that the firearm found under the seat was my clients, nor that client knew of the existence of the firearm, the State decided not to proceed and did not file charges against client.

Client was arrested when he was stopped by an officer who noticed a firearm underneath client's leg. Client did not have a concealed weapons license. Due to this arrest, client violated his probation on a separate case. It was imperative to get these charges dismissed in order to properly resolve the Violation of Probation case and after filing a Motion to Dismiss because the case law indicates that a weapon is not concealed if, although not fully exposed, its status as a weapon is detectable by ordinary observation, the State decided to dismiss charges against client.

Client had photographs and text messages indicating this story was false and after careful investigation and communicating with the State Attorney's Office, the State believed client's version of events and did not file charges against client.

Client retained our services as co-counsel and alongside another criminal defense firm, we began investigating the case by taking numerous depositions of eye witnesses, as well as depositions of two civilians who were with client at the time of the offense, partook in the offense, but were subsequently turned into State witnesses against our client. After several months of successful depositions, motion hearings which included State appeals which were denied, client was granted a bond. Shortly thereafter, the defense negotiated with the State for a breakdown from 1st degree attempted murder to a 3rd degree felony battery with credit time served.

Client retained our services for a domestic battery in Martin County, Florida.

Client was arrested for shooting an ex partner in the back and charged with attempted first degree murder. The whole incident was caught on surveillance camera. The alleged victim in this case was hesitant to cooperate with the State but had previously given a statement to the police. Furthermore, there were two witnesses on scene that were cooperative and willing to testify if called to trial. The case was tough to beat as the whole incident was caught on camera and there was no argument to be made that client acted in self-defense. After much litigation and negotiation with the State, the State agreed to change the charges to an Aggravated Battery and placed client on probation, without having to do one day in jail.

Client was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault with a Firearm, as a first-time offender facing up to five years in prison. After extensive communications with the pre-file Assistant State Attorney, case was No Actioned.

Client was arrested for allegedly breaking into an efficiency owned by his family but occupied by another person.

Client was charged with Leaving the Scene of a Crash involving Injury when client crashed into a motorcycle and allegedly failed to stop. The alleged victim was injured and there was damage to his motorcycle, however, the police stopped client less than 2 miles from the accident location. Client maintained that client did not know that client was involved in an accident and stopped shortly thereafter upon hearing the impact.

We scheduled the relevant witnesses for deposition in order to prepare for trial and the day of the depositions, the State advised they would be dismissing the case.

Client was arrested for physically attacking and suffocating his partner, and allegedly threatening her by pointing a firearm at her. Our office took the relevant depositions in the case and finally decided to depose the alleged victim after the State's offer would not be reduced to a non-prison sentence. During the victim's deposition, it was clear she was not a credible witness and had created the whole story. After the alleged victim's deposition and plea negotiations with the State, the State offered to dismiss the felony counts and extended an offer of a misdemeanor battery with probation. Client maintained his innocence and agreed that the case should go to trial. Finally, after extensive negotiations with the State, including submitting a memorandum which included all of the alleged victim's inconsistencies, the State decided to dismiss the charges against client.

Client was charged and after providing documentation to the State Attorney's Office and paying restitution, the case was dismissed.

Client was arrested when she was found inside the passenger seat of a vehicle towing a Bobcat that was alleged to have been stolen in Jupiter, Florida. There was insufficient evidence to prove that client was in fact the person who stole the Bobcat the day prior to client's arrest and client advised police client had no idea the Bobcat was stolen. After numerous discussions with the State, the State of Florida conceded that they did not have sufficient evidence to move forward and dismissed the charges.

Client retained our services as co-counsel and after multiple depositions wherein officers stated that the alleged victim was only concerned with money and the property that was allegedly damaged, despite the alleged victim indicating that client kidnapped the alleged victim and severely hurt the alleged victim, our office along with co-counsel's office took the deposition of the alleged victim which lasted over two hours and many impeachable facts were discovered. After the deposition, both attorneys spoke to the prosecutor countless times and explained how a jury would never convict the client.

Client was arrested for having a firearm in client's waistband, without a concealed weapons permit. Case was dismissed because the police violated client's rights when they approached client's vehicle, without any reasonable suspicion that client was committing a crime. The police clearly singled out client because of client's background and asked client incriminating questions without reading client their Miranda rights. Once all this information was provided to the State Attorney's Office, the Assistant State Attorney in charge of the case sided with defense counsel and did not pursue criminal charges against client.

Client was charged with second degree murder with a life mandatory sentence if convicted because a firearm was allegedly used during the commission of the crime. Client hired us during the pandemic, after having been in jail for 2 years. After countless depositions, Motions and hearings, the case was scheduled for trial. A few days prior to trial, the State added a gang expert witness which caused us to hire a defense gang expert witness, therefore delaying the proceedings. A few months later and after much investigation, the case went to trial. After two long weeks and the jury hearing evidence regarding gangs, watching a video of the shooting, hearing about fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence, the jury deliberated and found client not guilty.
