Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have to live in Florida to hire your firm?
No. With Florida being one of the number one tourist designations in the world, we regularly represent individuals who live outside Florida but have investigations or criminal cases pending within Florida.
2. Can you represent me before I am arrested?
Yes. In many situations, representation begins during the investigative stage before formal charges have been filed. In fact, we recommend in most cases for potential clients to engage an attorney as mitigation factors can help potential exposure in court or arrest(s).
3. Do you only handle state felony cases?
No. We represent clients in matters ranging from misdemeanors to complex felony prosecutions and federal criminal cases.
4. Will you travel anywhere in Florida?
Yes. We routinely represent clients throughout Florida and regularly travel for hearings, depositions, investigations, and jury trials.
