Florida Criminal Defense FAQ

What to expect if you’ve been charged.

  • What should I do if I’m arrested in Florida?

    Remain calm, stay silent, and ask for a lawyer. Anything you say can be used against you—even casually. Once retained, we communicate with law enforcement and begin evaluating your case. Whether you’re arrested in Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, or Duval County, having an experienced defense lawyer matters.

  • Can I get a criminal case dismissed in Florida?

    Yes, depending on the facts and how the case is handled. We examine every case for illegal searches, lack of evidence, or procedural errors. In some jurisdictions, first-time offenders may qualify for diversion programs. If dismissal isn’t possible, we push for reduced charges or alternatives to jail.

  • Will I have to go to court in person?

    In many counties, your attorney can appear on your behalf for initial hearings or case management conferences. If you’re an out-of-state visitor charged in Florida, we help coordinate your defense and minimize unnecessary travel. For hearings that require you to attend, we ensure you’re fully prepared.

  • Do penalties vary between Florida counties?

    Yes—each county has its own prosecutors, judges, and local policies. A drug possession charge in Broward may be handled differently than in Sarasota or Escambia. We tailor your defense to the local court’s tendencies and use our knowledge of Florida law to seek the best resolution.

  • Can you help if I live outside Florida?

    Absolutely. We frequently represent visitors and nonresidents facing charges in Florida—from spring break arrests in Panama City Beach to business-related offenses in Naples. We work remotely when possible and coordinate all legal logistics to defend you effectively from wherever you are.
