“I know that being charged with
a crime is embarrassing and, quite frankly, down-right
frightening. Courtroom proceedings are intimidating.
Your job stability, personal relationships, and liberty
are at stake. At a time like this you need an experienced
lawyer to navigate the courtroom, explain your options,
and mount an aggressive legal defense. As a former
prosecutor here in Orlando, I know firsthand how the
State will attempt to prove the case against you.
Having prosecuted literally thousands of cases, including
major life felonies, I have heard almost every defense
to every crime and know their strengths and weaknesses.
I can advise you as to the most likely outcome for
conviction so that you can make a reasonable decision
whether to proceed to trial. If a trial is necessary
to prove your innocence, I will take your case to
trial and fight for your rights. Before you make a
decision regarding an attorney, ask how many jury
trials they have completed and the level of those
crimes. Prosecutors know who will go to trial and
so should you. I look forward to meeting you.”
