Palm Beach Gardens Criminal Lawyer & DUI Attorney

There should be no need to worry if the firm you picked has attorneys cherry-picking press suitable legal cases and assigning everything else to over-worked, substantially less accomplished associates. You should not have to wonder if your lawyer based your fee on what they think you can afford – billing different clientele at different rates for the same level of work!
You shouldn’t. However, you really should.
I am a veteran Criminal Lawyer, AVVO graded 10.0 in DUI and Traffic, 10.0 in Criminal Defense, and 10 Best in Customer Satisfaction. I’m A/V Rated Preeminent by my colleagues and have also been selected in the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers. I treat every defendant as if they were my only client.
I’m sure you have many questions – or worse still, you are in dire straits and have little idea of what you’ll do or what kind of questions you should be asking. Do not procrastinate. Obtain a law firm at once. The more time you hold off, the more complicated your court case becomes.
You’re searching for answers. I have them.
A personal note from Palm Beach Gardens Criminal Lawyer Josh LeRoy:
This firm carries my name. Every case is taken very seriously, and every client is treated as if they were 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 actual cost. We openly discuss your situation and your choices and strategize accordingly.
Since you’re reading this, I’d venture to guess that 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.

– 2005 – ’09, Public Defender
I began my career as a Palm Beach Public Defender, defending thousands of clients with charges ranging from minor misdemeanors to felonies punishable by mandatory life imprisonment. I gained invaluable trial experience and knowledge of the justice system through countless trials – nearly all with favorable outcomes.
It shaped me into a formidable trial attorney and perfected my skills as a creative legal researcher and writer. I developed a unique talent for finding details other criminal attorneys regularly miss, giving me an edge in defending my clients. I am regularly hired to replace other lawyers.

I was raised in Palm Beach County. I graduated from Suncoast Community High School, Brandeis University, and studied to become a criminal lawyer at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.

- Marijuana Possession & ParaphernaliaMary Jane, Marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, chronic, krypy, etc., is prohibited throughout The sunshine state. At this time, in any case! The “It’s only one joint” mindset is likely to lead to a year in prison, a $1,000 penalty, and a compulsory driver’s license suspension. Possession of greater than 20 grams is significantly more severe!
I have achieved a special status for being a Palm Beach Gardens Criminal Attorney, standing-up against all various kinds of drug possession criminal charges over time – notably cannabis possession. The chances are I will get your criminal charges dropped, kept clear of conviction entirely, and also keep your license. That said, keep in mind that what I can manage for you depends on your circumstances. So, phone me, and we’ll go over your options…
- Violent CrimesNumerous offenses in Florida fit into this class. Violent crimes are made up of but are not restricted to murder, kidnapping, rape or sexual battery, home invasion, robbery, carjacking, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, as well as burglary. Many often carry mandatory jail penalties that prosecuting lawyers will ensure is their goal to obtain. Anytime a firearm is utilized at the time of committing the transgression, the 10-20-life punishment code is strongly enforced.
It would be best if you had a competitive Palm Beach Gardens Criminal Lawyer adept in this area of law. I have successfully defended clients in every criminal charge listed above – and much more. Call us, and we’ll go over what occurred, and then we can look at your future.
- Burglary (Breaking & Entering)Burglary (Breaking & Entering, B&E) results when someone enters into the property or home of another with the intent actually to commit a crime. Technically, a burglary charge doesn’t need evidence of breaking in, nor will it need proof that a misdeed took place within. Burglary needs substantiation that the person had criminal intent once the property or home had been accessed.
Because proof of the burglary depends upon your intent at the point of access, plenty of defenses exist. Who will tell you what your plan might have been? Contact my law firm, and we can review the defenses and how we can apply them to help you.
- Felony Drug PossessionThe most frequently found source of criminal offense throughout the country is drug possession. Whether or not it’s cocaine, illegally acquired pills (Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin, Lortab, Etc.), crack, heroin, PCP, LSD, or peyote, having any illegal drug, apart from small amounts of weed, will be a felony in the Sunshine State. Punishments often consist of prison or possibly probation, and in addition, in the State of Florida, any drug possession conviction results in a compulsory driving license revocation.
Remember, even though you were near drugs does not mean you were guilty—phone my law firm. I will analyze your case. I will inspect just how interaction with authorities is initiated. I will assess whether your Fourth Amendment civil rights have been breached.
I will fight for you. I will help!
- Probation ViolationWhen on probation, relatively ordinary day-to-day activities may put you at risk of violating your probation and consequently getting moved to prison. I take pride in helping clients with all probation difficulties; these include:
- Violation Defense
- Motions to Modify Probation
- Motions to Terminate Probation
- Communicating with Officers
- Clarification/Interpretation of Probation Stipulations
The stipulations of your probation can sometimes be confusing and even contradictory. Plenty of violations have occurred because of innocent misunderstandings! You might want to come in for a detailed evaluation of your “probation papers” before you make an innocent mistake that could breach your probation’s conditions. Allow me to walk you through the details.
If you’ve recently violated your provisions because of a misconception or otherwise, call me as soon as possible. I have taken care of many probation violation court cases over the years. Allow me to help.
- ExpungementsYour case has been dismissed. Charges dropped! All the same, and many do not know this, you must still cleanse your arrest record. Background checks will still clearly show those violations. A dismissed legal proceeding will likely stop you from obtaining a job or any job promotion and keep you from accomplishing various life aspirations.
Fortunately, Florida’s laws allow you to expunge an entire charge/court case. Subject to specific terms and conditions, the most important of which is that you’ve never been convicted of any criminal offense in the past. Once expunged, different criminal charges in one court case, such as a felony reduced to a misdemeanor, are thoroughly removed from your record forever.
I can help clean up your criminal records. Telephone me, and we can take the first step to move ahead with your life.
- DUIs & Traffic TicketsOur ability to make simple mistakes is, to some extent, an essential part of being human. I view that as an undeniable fact. That is why I feel several traffic-related punishments are unjust. I have enjoyed excellent results in getting charges mitigated and even entirely dismissed. For additional information, visit me for specifics, and drop by my Palm Beach Gardens DUI Lawyer or my Palm Beach Gardens Traffic Attorney resources.

What are the conditions for early termination probation? Section 948.05, Florida Statutes (2011), states, “[a] court may at any time cause a probationer…to ap-pear before it to be admonished or commended, and, when satisfied that its action will be for the best interests of justice and the welfare of society, it may discharge the probationer…
Just what does it mean to have your case dismissed? When defending his client against the State, a smart criminal defense attorney sees the fight like a game of chess; he strives to win the case in as few moves as possible. However, to do so, the lawyer, like a soldier going to war, must…
