I cannot express my gratitude enough for Julian. He handled my case with true professionalism and expertise.
He was very attentive and really made me feel understood and safe throughout the entire process of my case. I am 100% certain that I would not have had the incredible outcome in my case if it were not for Julian going above and beyond. Thank you so much for everything! He and his paralegal are so wonderful to work with!”

Everyone is presumed good, and in doubtful cases, the resolution should be for the accused.
Domestic Violence
Accusations of abuse or other forms of violence against a spouse, children, or other family members can be serious. Courts will often take a harsh stance against domestic violence, and criminal convictions can lead to multiple types of penalties. Accusations of domestic violence may also lead to orders of protection, which may prevent a person from returning to their home or contacting their spouse or children. A strong defense will be needed for those who are facing these types of accusations, and our attorney is ready to help with these matters.
Drug Crimes
The use and abuse of controlled substances is an ongoing concern in Florida and throughout the United States. As law enforcement officials take steps to limit the spread of drugs, they may arrest people who are accused of possessing or distributing controlled substances. People who struggle with drug addiction may end up facing criminal charges that could lead to lengthy prison sentences and other penalties. Our attorney can provide representation for people charged with drug possession, distribution, manufacturing, or related offenses.
DUI
Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be dangerous. Intoxicated drivers are more likely to be involved in car accidents. Because of the dangers of drunk driving, police officers may take steps to arrest drivers who are accused of drinking alcohol or using drugs. The penalties for DUI can be severe, affecting a person's driver's license and potentially leading to jail time. Our lawyer can provide strong representation for people charged with DUI, helping them minimize the penalties they may face.
Sex Crimes
Situations in which people are accused of violating consent and engaging in sexual activities that caused harm to others are some of the most sensitive cases handled in the criminal justice system. These charges may involve sexual assault, prostitution, indecent exposure, or the possession or distribution of child pornography. Our lawyer understands the severity of these types of charges, and he will take a discreet approach when providing legal representation for people who have been accused of these offenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Orders of Protection Required in Domestic Violence Cases?
Answer
An arrest for domestic violence will not always result in an order of protection, but if a judge believes that steps need to be taken to protect against abuse, they may issue orders requiring a person to stay away from the alleged victim, preventing them from contacting their family members, and imposing other restrictions.
Read MoreCan an Alleged Victim of Domestic Violence Choose Not to Press Charges?
Answer
Decisions about whether to charge a person with an offense related to domestic violence are made by prosecutors, not by victims. While an alleged victim may withdraw their accusations or ask not to press charges, prosecutors may choose to proceed with a case if they believe that there is evidence that domestic violence occurred.
Read MoreCan Diversion Programs Help Me Avoid a Drug Crime Conviction?
Answer
In some cases, you may be able to resolve drug charges through programs that will allow you to receive substance abuse treatment and have charges dismissed after completing a period of probation. Our attorney can advise you on what options may be available and how you can avoid a criminal conviction.
Read MoreWhen Are Drug Crimes Prosecuted in Federal Court?
Answer
Offenses that allegedly involved large-scale drug distribution or manufacturing operations will be more likely to result in federal charges. However, other drug crimes may also be prosecuted in federal courts if they allegedly involved the transportation of drugs across state lines or if they were investigated by federal agencies.
Read MoreHow Do Field Sobriety Tests Affect DUI Cases?
Answer
Police officers will often ask drivers to take certain tests during traffic stops that are meant to determine whether a person is intoxicated. These tests are used to determine whether an officer may arrest a person for DUI, and the officer's observations may play a role in a criminal prosecution.
Read MoreCan I Refuse a Breathalyzer Test?
Answer
If a police officer asks you to take a breath test during a traffic stop, you can decline to do so. If you are arrested for DUI, you may be asked to take a breathalyzer test at a police station. These tests are mandatory, and refusing to take them will result in the automatic suspension of your driver's license.
Read MoreWhen Is Sex Offender Registration Required?
Answer
Certain types of sex crimes will require a person to register as a sex offender after they are convicted. In most cases, Florida law will require a person to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life. However, it may be possible to petition for removal from the sex offender register after a certain number of years.
Read MoreHow Can I Address False Accusations of a Sex Crime?
Answer
Sex crime charges are often based on accusations made by alleged victims. In some cases, accusations may be false, and they may be made due to family conflicts or interpersonal disputes. Our attorney can help you defend against accusations by highlighting inconsistencies in the accuser's statements or showing that their accusations are not credible.
Read MoreWhat Is the Difference Between Assault and Battery?
Answer
Assault charges may apply if a person is accused of making threats or engaging in behavior that caused someone to fear that they would suffer harm. Battery charges may apply if a person made contact with someone else or inflicted injuries. A person accused of a violent crime may face charges for both assault and battery.
Read MoreHow Does Self-Defense Affect Violent Crime Cases?
Answer
Under Florida's "stand your ground" law, people are allowed to use force to defend themselves or others against threats. Our lawyer can help you determine whether self-defense may be used as a defense strategy to help you avoid a criminal conviction or reduce the charges you may be facing.
