Felony Charge Defense

Florida recognizes three degrees of felony, from a third-degree felony (up to $5,000 fine, 5 years) to a first-degree felony (up to $15,000 fine, 30 years) — and depending on the evidence and your prior record, a misdemeanor can be elevated to a felony. We investigate every fact, seek to have charges dropped or reduced, negotiate an acceptable plea where appropriate, and aggressively defend you at trial when one is unavoidable.

What this can involve

  • Aggravated battery, felony battery, and aggravated fleeing to elude
  • Drug crimes, forgery, fraud, and grand theft
  • Felony DUI with serious injury or prior convictions
  • Homicide, sexual battery, and lewd & lascivious conduct
  • Concealed firearm, racketeering, and resisting arrest with violence
