Criminal Defense Expertise
The firm's criminal defense practice is spearheaded by Jeremy Lasnetski, a former State Attorney division chief and homicide prosecutor. He brings over two decades of trial experience to the defense table, handling everything from DUI/DWI Defense Lawyers cases to complex federal felonies. The firm represents clients accused of Drug Crime Defense Lawyers charges, Violent Crime Defense Lawyers offenses, and white-collar crimes. They are particularly skilled in federal defense, representing clients in the Middle District of Florida. Their goal is to dismantle the prosecution's case, suppress illegally obtained evidence, and secure the best possible outcome, whether that is a dismissal, a plea deal, or an acquittal at trial.
Immigration and Deportation Defense
Immigration law is a minefield of regulations and deadlines. John Gihon, a former ICE prosecutor, provides the firm with a unique advantage in Immigration Lawyers matters. He knows how the government builds deportation cases and uses that inside knowledge to defend his clients. The firm handles Deportation Defense Lawyers cases, asylum applications, and family-based visas. They also assist with naturalization and citizenship, helping clients achieve their American dream. For non-citizens with criminal records, the firm's dual expertise is invaluable in avoiding the immigration consequences of a conviction.
