Charged with a Crime? Reach Out to Us

Criminal Defense Attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Being charged with a crime is a frightening and stressful experience you should never have to face alone. It is essential to speak with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Obtaining a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney who is dedicated to helping you through the process can make all the difference between severe penalties or the chance of reduced or dismissed charges.

Understanding the Charges You Face

Crimes in Florida are divided into two categories: misdemeanor and felony. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes, such as theft, that result in up to one year in jail and have a shorter statute of limitations. Felonies on the other hand, like murder, assault, and certain drug crimes, are much more serious charges that result in long-term incarceration or the death penalty and have a much longer or no statute of limitations.

It is important to note that the state of Florida has a three-strikes law. People who have been previously convicted of two felonies and are convicted of a third are sentenced to more extensive jail time. To help avoid an unfair or overly harsh conviction, never speak with or make statements to authorities without legal counsel present; anything you say can be used against you. Having criminal defense present cab ensure that your rights are being respected and that someone well-versed in local, state, and federal laws is on your side.
