Depending on what you have been charged with, you will be tried in either state or federal court. If the crime you’ve been accused of violates the Constitution, it will go to federal court and you’ll need an attorney that can successfully represent you. Otherwise, we’ll be prepared to fight for you in state courts. Some of the accusations we might defend you from include: 

• Sexual assault

• Sexual abuse

• Overturning convictions

• Firearms possession

• DUI manslaughter

• Death penalty cases

Your life doesn’t have to end just because you’ve been accused of a Florida state crime. Our lawyers are familiar with the intricacies of state and federal courts, so you’ll have the best defense possible regardless of where your case ends up.
