Personalized Treatment For Every Criminal Defense Case

The best way to protect yourself after being accused of a criminal offense is to work with a skilled legal advocate. As a West Palm Beach criminal defense lawyer, I represent clients in cases that include:

• DUI/DWI charges – I look at what you did right that night instead of what you did wrong and examine the details of your situation to defend your actions.
• Violent crimes – I’ve gotten countless charges dismissed and many others that resulted in not guilty verdicts.
• Gun charges – Your Second Amendment right to possess a firearm is important, and I’ll work diligently to protect it.
• Drug charges – I have extensive experience successfully representing clients against charges for possession, selling and trafficking of controlled substances.
• Sex crimes – I’ll fight to make sure your side of the story is heard.

As a skilled criminal defense attorney, I have also successfully represented clients in cases that involve constitutional violations and domestic violence injunctions.

I give every case the individualized attention it deserves to prepare and present a strong defense. You’re not alone with my firm on your side. I’ll make sure to protect your liberty and help you look forward to a bright future.

Answering Your Questions

It is common for anyone facing criminal charges to have questions about their case. As your legal representative, I can help answer the hard questions, such as:

I plan on pleading guilty. Do I still need to hire a defense attorney?

Yes, you do. Working with an attorney ensures that your rights are protected and often increases your legal options. Even if you plan to take a plea deal, the terms of that deal could be much more favorable if negotiated by your lawyer.

One final consideration: Nearly any attorney charged with a crime would seek the help of another attorney. Representing yourself in court is usually unwise, and the results can be disastrous.

What should I do immediately after being arrested?

Exercise your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney. Anything you say to the police after being arrested can be used against you later, so you should not agree to be questioned or interviewed without an attorney. Your communications about your case are confidential, and your attorney advises you on what to do and what to avoid while in police custody.

Do I need to answer questions police officers ask me?

Other than providing your name and other identification information, you are not obligated to answer questions without having your attorney present. As mentioned above, you have the right to remain silent, and you should invoke that right until you have had a chance to consult with a defense attorney.

Do I need to agree to let police officers search my home or my car?

No, you never need to give your consent. In most cases, law enforcement must obtain a search warrant (with few exceptions). If they have one, they won’t ask permission. And if they are asking, it is likely because they can’t legally conduct a search without your permission.

You gain nothing by consenting to a search. Doing so doesn’t make you seem “less guilty” to the police. By refusing your consent, you may be able to challenge the legality of the search later on.
