Boca Raton Criminal Lawyer & DUI Attorney
I am a veteran Criminal Attorney with an AVVO rating of 10.0 in DUI and Traffic, 10.0 in Criminal Defense, and 10 Best in Customer Satisfaction. I am A/V Rated Preeminent by my colleagues and have now been selected into the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers. I treat every single client just like he/she is my only client.
You, in all likelihood, have a few questions – or worse yet, you’re in trouble and have no clue where to go or even what questions to ask. Do not hesitate. Secure legal representation immediately. The more time you delay, the harder the case will get.
You’re after answers. I have them.
A personal note from Boca Raton Criminal Lawyer Josh LeRoy:
This firm carries my name. Every case is taken very seriously, and every client is treated like my only client. How it performs in court, how clients remember it, is my signature.
It is my legacy to my children.
Your concerns, questions, and fears are important to me. I do my best to prepare you for all eventualities. The only thing worse than going through the criminal justice system is going through it unprepared and alone.
Rates are affordable compared to others you will find because I personally handle every case. I am your attorney. I draft and argue Motions. I appear in court. I personally return calls. You get me if you need me – not an assistant, secretary, paralegal, or junior associate.
Be wary of criminal defense lawyers who misrepresent facts or the law to entice you to sign a retainer only to reveal later the “truth” of your case – and its true cost. We openly discuss your situation and your choices and strategize accordingly.
Since you’re reading this, I’d venture a guess either you or someone you’re close with needs an attorney. You’ve taken the first step and started to research your options. That’s good. you must be proactive in your defense at all times.
Take the next step, and keep that forward momentum! The longer you take to find counsel, the harder your case becomes. Drop me a note and let me know what the problem is.

- Marijuana Possession & ParaphernaliaMary Jane, Marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, chronic, krypy, etc., is illegal throughout Florida. For the moment, at least! The “It’s just a joint” point of view can result in a year in prison, a thousand-dollar penalty, and compulsory license revocation. Possessing more than 20 grams is significantly more severe!
I’ve earned a notable reputation as a top Boca Raton Criminal Attorney, standing up against all kinds of drug possession criminal charges through the years – in particular, pot possession. It’s likely that I could get your offenses dropped, possibly avoid conviction altogether, and keep your license. Yet, bear in mind what I can achieve can vary depending on the details of your case. So, call me, and we’ll go over your options…
- Violent CrimesNumerous criminal charges within Florida fall under this specific classification. Violent crimes consist of, but are not restricted to, murder, kidnapping, rape or sexual battery, home invasion, robbery, carjacking, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and burglary. Virtually all have compulsory prison sentences, and prosecuting attorneys will prioritize these sentences.
In case a gun is employed over the course of committing the offense, the 10-20-life punishment code is vigorously enforced.
You must have an aggressive Boca Raton Criminal Lawyer with qualifications in this aspect of law. I’ve effectively defended individuals in every one of the criminal offenses discussed previously – and more. Give me a call, tell me the details, and then we will focus on your future together.
- Burglary (Breaking & Entering)Burglary (Breaking & Entering, B&E) takes place when a man or woman goes into the house or property of a person having the intent actually to commit an offense. Legally, a burglary offense doesn’t require proof of breaking in or demand proof that a criminal offense occurred inside the property. Burglary simply requires proof that whenever the property or home had been entered, the person intended to commit a crime.
Due to the fact proof of the burglary depends upon your intent at that point of access, there are actually defenses. Who will honestly tell you what your personal intent could have been? Contact my law firm to discuss the specific defenses and how they may apply to your situation.
- Felony Drug PossessionThe most frequent reason for arrest in America is, without a doubt, drug possession. Whether it be cocaine, illicitly attained prescriptions (Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin, Lortab, Etc.), crack, heroin, PCP, LSD, or peyote, acquiring any kind of illegal drug other than small amounts of weed will be a felony in the State of Florida. Penalties often consist of jail and/or maybe probation, and also, in the State of Florida, any kind of drug possession conviction results in an obligatory driving license suspension.
Keep in mind, simply being close to drugs does not necessarily mean are guilty. Reach out to my firm. I will go through your entire situation. I will look at just how the contact with authorities was initiated. I will assess whether your 4th Amendment liberties were violated. I will deal with the problem for you. I will help!
- Probation ViolationWhen on probation, ordinary everyday activities can put you in danger of violating your probation and, as a consequence, being sent straight to jail. I take pride in helping individuals through all probation issues, like:
- Violation Defense
- Motions to Modify Probation
- Motions to Terminate Probation
- Interacting with Officers
- Clarification/Interpretation of Probation Provisions
The stipulations of your probation might be difficult to understand, even occasionally contradicting. A great many violations are actually the result of innocent misunderstandings! You should come in for a careful read-through of your “probation papers” before making an innocent mistake that could breach your probation’s stipulations. I can take you step-by-step through the specifics.
If you think you’ve recently violated the provisions because of some misunderstanding, or something else, reach out to me straightaway. I have taken care of plenty of probation violation cases over the years. I can help.
- ExpungementsYour case has been dismissed, and your offenses ended up being dropped.
Or were they?
Keep in mind, at this point, it’s a must to clean up your personal record because any kind of criminal record check will still have those violations. Discussed criminal offenses may prevent you from getting a job, a promotion or hold you back from various personal pursuits.
Fortunately, Florida’s statutes allow for an individual to expunge a whole offense/criminal offense. Depending on certain stipulations, the most important of which is you have no prior criminal offense convictions. That means that a wide range of charges that can spring from one case, such as a felony reduced to a misdemeanor, may be permanently removed from your record.
I can help clear your criminal convictions by simply expunging the legal matter. Contact me, and I would be pleased to help you put your past behind you so you can continue your life.

- DUIs & Traffic TicketsOur ability to make mistakes is a great part of what makes us all fundamentally human. I understand that as being an undeniable fact. This is the reason I believe that most traffic-related punishments are unjust. I have had consistent results in getting charges reduced and even altogether thrown out. For details, review my Boca Raton DUI Lawyer or my Boca Raton Traffic Attorney sections.
