You need an aggressive criminal lawyer protecting your back. If you are facing criminal charges in Palm Beach County, fast and effective representation matters from the first appearance through resolution. At LeRoy Law, a leading West Palm Beach criminal attorney focuses on protecting your rights, your record, and your future—while keeping you informed at every step.
Even if the facts seem unfavorable, early strategy can change outcomes. We review the arrest or detention, challenge probable cause, analyze body-cam and reports, and pursue dismissals, reductions, diversion, or withholds when Florida law and the evidence allow.
A criminal case can affect employment, professional licensing, immigration status, driving privileges, and family life. We give you a clear plan, straight answers on risks and options, and timely communication so you can make informed decisions.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney—use both. Provide your name and ID only; do not answer questions or give statements. Do not consent to searches. You are entitled to a first appearance (typically within 24 hours) where bond is addressed. For DUI arrests, you generally have 10 days to act on the DHSMV license suspension. Call LeRoy Law before speaking to anyone about the case.
Early legal help preserves defenses and leverage. We scrutinize the stop, detention, and search; challenge probable cause; move to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence; and negotiate from a trial-ready posture. In Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit, informed strategy can mean dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, or a withhold when appropriate.
Penalties depend on the charge, history, and facts. Misdemeanors can bring jail, probation, fines, and classes; felonies add prison exposure and long-term collateral effects. DUI penalties turn on BAC, crash or injury, and priors, and include separate DMV consequences. We map statutory ranges, realistic outcomes, and collateral impacts (employment, licensing, immigration, firearms) before any decision.
Don’t decide before full discovery review. A quick plea can trigger immigration problems, license suspensions, firearm restrictions, or professional discipline—and may waive viable defenses. We evaluate evidence, identify suppression issues, and weigh diversion or negotiated resolutions against trial risks so you choose knowingly.
A conviction can lead to jail or prison, probation terms, fines, restitution, classes, community service, and lasting collateral consequences. Some cases allow a withhold of adjudication or later sealing/expungement; others do not. We explain sentencing options, mitigation, and post-judgment relief tailored to your charge and goals, then work to limit long-term impact.
I approach each case with a deep sense of justice and decency, and aggressively defend cases with unparalleled dedication. I represent each client as I would want to be represented if the roles were reversed. A unique defensive strategy is developed for each to ensure the best possible outcome.
I work to obtain the best outcome possible from the moment you are charged with a crime until the case is closed. I represent clients during appeals, motions, and post-conviction relief when necessary, to help them return to their everyday lives as soon as possible.
I protect against anything that hinders this objective.
Members of law enforcement, probation officers, and other executive branch officers are often overzealous individuals who commonly abuse their powers. I do not tolerate this kind of mistreatment of my clients. I will defend you passionately when this abuse arises.
My office is located in downtown West Palm Beach and serves most of South Florida, including but not limited to Palm Beach, Martin, and Broward counties.
I truly stand behind my clients. If you need a criminal attorney you can trust, use the contact form below to reach out to me.
