FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When your questions are loud and the answers are hard to find, our FAQ section is here to bring clarity and confidence — because knowing your rights is the first step to defending them. Our FAQ section helps you understand your rights, your options, and how Jacob Stuart Law protects you during every stage of a criminal investigation or trial.
1. What should I do immediately after being arrested in Florida?
If you’ve been arrested, remain calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Never discuss your case with anyone other than your attorney. Politely request to speak with a lawyer and contact Jacob Stuart Law immediately. Early legal representation protects your rights and can significantly influence how your case proceeds. Absolutely never speak to law enforcement officers without legal counsel present.
2. Do I need a criminal defense lawyer if I’m innocent?
Yes. Even innocent individuals can face damaging accusations, overzealous prosecutors, or investigative errors. A skilled defense lawyer ensures that your rights are protected and that every aspect of law enforcement’s investigation is scrutinized for mistakes, bias, or constitutional violations.
3. How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense trial attorney?
Fees vary depending on the seriousness of the charge and the stage of litigation. At Jacob Stuart Law, we offer transparent, customized fee agreements — balancing fairness, experience, and results — and clearly explain all costs before representation begins.
4. Can your firm help with out-of-county or out-of-state cases?
Absolutely. Jacob Stuart Law represents clients in all 67 counties throughout Florida and in each of the state’s three federal district courts. Attorney Jacob V. Stuart Jr. has also been admitted pro hac vice and served as lead trial counsel in serious felony and complex federal cases across multiple states — including Virginia, Montana, North Carolina, and Michigan.
This breadth of experience allows our firm to coordinate and execute comprehensive defense strategies across both state and federal jurisdictions, ensuring seamless, experienced representation wherever your case is filed.
5. What types of criminal cases does your firm handle?
Jacob Stuart Law handles a wide range of criminal matters — from complex felonies to high-stakes federal investigations. Representative areas include:
- DUI and Vehicular Homicide
- White-Collar Crimes and Federal Fraud Investigations
- Domestic Violence and Injunction Defense
- Drug Trafficking and Possession
- Murder, Manslaughter, and Violent Crimes
- Probation Violations
- Sex Crimes and Internet-Related Offenses
Our practice is built on more than 140 jury trials and a reputation for results in both state and federal courtrooms.
6. What should I do if I’m under criminal investigation but haven’t been arrested?
If you’ve been contacted by law enforcement or believe you’re under investigation, do not speak with investigators without counsel present. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Our firm often intervenes before charges are filed — engaging with detectives and prosecutors early to protect clients, gather evidence, and, in many cases, prevent an arrest altogether.
7. How does Jacob Stuart Law represent businesses and professionals under investigation?
We represent business owners, executives, physicians, and public officials in state and federal investigations involving fraud, embezzlement, regulatory compliance, and government contracting. Our experience allows us to navigate grand jury subpoenas, search warrants, and parallel civil proceedings while protecting both the client’s personal and corporate interests.
8. What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Florida?
A misdemeanor is generally punishable by up to one year in county jail, while a felony carries possible prison time exceeding one year. Both can have lasting impacts on your career, reputation, and record — which is why early, strategic legal representation is critical.
9. Can a criminal record be sealed or expunged in Florida?
Yes — under specific circumstances. Florida law allows certain arrests or charges to be sealed or expunged if eligibility criteria are met. Jacob Stuart Law can review your case and guide you through the process from start to finish.
10. How do I schedule a confidential consultation with Jacob Stuart Law?
