Criminal Defense

There is perhaps no more frightening and difficult moment in life than being accused of a crime or arrested.  The entire power and force of the system seems to fall directly on us.  Our freedom, our security, and our peace of mind are all threatened, as is the security and peace of mind of our families, our loved ones, and those who look to us for support.  Even just receiving word that a criminal investigation is focusing on us can throw us into turmoil and place us at risk.  These are all situations which can jeopardize our future and which require immediate attention and advice.  By waiting until there is an arrest, or until formal charges are filed, or until conviction to get the best counsel, vital and perhaps life-saving options can be lost.

Our firm specializes in protecting your rights and any stage of a criminal proceeding, from investigation to appeal.  Our defense team is headed by the former Chief Federal Prosecutor for the Jacksonville area, who personally participates in each case.  We have experience in handling the most complex multi-jurisdictional cases, as well as cases in all courts for any and all charges.

We understand there is no such thing as a small case.  We understand our clients have families and jobs and rights that need protecting.  We understand what it means to need help.  When those things are threatened, the time to get that help is now.  In many instances we have the opportunity to get involved in a case before or after an arrest when no formal charges have been filed, and make a difference then and there.   It costs nothing to call and our initial meeting is always absolutely free.

Ben Franklin is said to have remarked that the surest protections of liberty is information from wise counsel and the help of strong friends .  If you or someone you know needs help, find out how we can and will stand by you and stand up for you.  Call us today.
