Felony Defense

Serious felony charges, investigation, motion practice, negotiation, and trial.

STATE CRIMINAL DEFENSE

A criminal charge in Florida can put your freedom, your record, and your future in immediate jeopardy. The right response is not panic — it is preparation.

Felony Defense

Florida felonies range from third-degree offenses to life felonies, and the stakes climb quickly. We handle serious felony matters with the investigation, motion practice, and trial preparation they demand.
  • Third-degree through life-felony accusations
  • Pretrial and dispositive motion practice
  • Defense investigation and expert consultation
  • Negotiation and trial advocacy

How We Approach Felony Cases

Serious felony cases demand early exposure analysis, independent investigation, focused motion practice, and trial preparation that begins before negotiations.
  • Identify the charged degree, enhancements, sentencing scoresheet, and collateral exposure.
  • Preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and examine digital or forensic proof.
  • Litigate suppression, dismissal, discovery, and evidentiary issues where supported.
  • Use trial-ready preparation to evaluate every resolution and courtroom option.
