Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Defense in Florida

What should I do if the police contact me regarding an investigation" You should never speak to law enforcement without an attorney present, even if you are innocent. Statements you make can be taken out of context and used against you. Politely decline to answer questions and contact a lawyer immediately.

Why is appellate practice different from trial law" Appellate practice does not involve introducing new evidence or witnesses. Instead, it focuses on analyzing the written trial transcripts to find legal or procedural errors made by the judge or attorneys that may have affected the outcome of the trial.

How can a criminal defense lawyer help with a misdemeanor charge" Even a misdemeanor charge can lead to a permanent criminal record and affect future employment. A skilled attorney can negotiate for diversion programs, seek to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, or argue for a complete dismissal of the charges.
