Connie Mederos-Jacobs - Bradenton, FL

Over 30 Years of Relentless Criminal Defense Advocacy

When your freedom, reputation, and livelihood are on the line, you need to find a criminal defense lawyer in Bradenton who has a deep understanding of Florida's sentencing guidelines and courtroom procedures. Connie Mederos-Jacobs, admitted to the Florida Bar in 1989, is a former assistant state attorney for Manatee County who knows exactly how prosecutors evaluate and build their cases. She represents clients in both state and federal courts throughout Florida, offering trial-tested strategies to defend your rights.

We understand that being accused of a crime is an emotionally overwhelming experience. Our boutique practice is built on a personal interest in every client, providing the individualized attention and customized strategies that larger, high-volume firms cannot offer. If you are facing serious allegations, do not wait to hire a federal defense attorney or a state felony lawyer who will defend your case with their whole heart.

High-Stakes Federal and State Felony Defense

Connie Mederos-Jacobs possesses extensive experience handling severe charges, including federal drug conspiracy, state felonies, white-collar crimes, sex offenses, and juvenile delinquency. Uniquely, she and her husband, Larry Jacobs (licensed since 1977), run separate legal practices. This structure allows them to represent multiple co-defendants involved in the same dual-arrest incident without any conflict of interest, utilizing proven and coordinated defense strategies. If you need to order legal representation for a complex criminal matter, this unique collaborative advantage is highly beneficial.

Stand Your Ground Hearings and Firearms Offenses

We believe strongly in the constitutional right to self-defense. Connie Mederos-Jacobs has a stellar record in representing clients accused of weapons charges, demonstrating to the court that they had a lawful right to stand their ground under Florida Statutes. Successfully arguing a Stand Your Ground motion can result in a total dismissal of charges before your case ever reaches a jury trial, saving you from a lifetime of stress and potential imprisonment.

DUI Defense, Domestic Violence, and Traffic Tickets

Even minor offenses, such as traffic tickets, misdemeanors, or first-time DUI arrests, can lead to severe penalties, including driver's license suspensions and permanent criminal records. If you need a DUI defense attorney urgently, our team is equipped to challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and the legality of the initial traffic stop. We also represent individuals facing sensitive domestic violence injunctions and administrative driver's license hearings.

Fully Bilingual Representation with Free Consultations

Clear communication is a critical element of a successful defense. Attorney Connie Mederos-Jacobs and her staff are completely bilingual (Nosotros Hablamos Español), ensuring that Spanish-speaking clients have a direct, unmediated line of communication with their lawyer.
