Riviera Beach Criminal Lawyer & DUI Attorney
I’m a veteran Criminal lawyer; AVVO scored 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 peers and have now been selected in the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers. I care for each client just as if he/she were my only client.
You’re the one reviewing this website and, in all probability, have a few questions; worse yet, you might be in a mess and have little idea of what direction to go or just what questions you should discuss. Do not delay. Secure legal counsel promptly. The more time you hold off, the more difficult the case becomes. You want the right answers. I know them.
A personal note from Riviera Beach 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 we strategize accordingly.
Since you’re reading this, I’d venture a guess that 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.

Founded LeRoy Law, PA.

– 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 special 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.
– 2005, S. Florida Native
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 against the law throughout Florida. For now, in any case! The “It’s just one joint” frame of mind can easily lead to a year in prison, a $1,000 fee, and a mandatory driving license revocation. Possessing in excess of 20 grams is significantly worse!
I have a notable reputation as an effective Riviera Criminal Lawyer, standing up against all forms of illegal substance possession charges over time – particularly pot possession. It’s likely that I could have your violations dropped, preventing a conviction altogether while keeping your driving license. Yet, remember, just what I am able to achieve fluctuates and is particularly subject to numerous variables. So, phone me, and we’ll go over your alternatives…
- Violent CrimesNumerous offenses within Florida belong to this specific classification. Violent crimes include things like, but are not limited to, murder, kidnapping, rape or sexual battery, home invasion, robbery, carjacking, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and burglary. Nearly all often carry mandatory prison sentences, which prosecuting attorneys will make sure are their top priority to receive. In cases where a gun is employed over the course of committing the transgression, the 10-20-life punishment code is strongly enforced.
You must have a competitive Riviera Criminal Attorney qualified in this aspect of the law. I’ve successfully defended individuals in all of the crimes noted earlier – plus more. Telephone me, share what took place in the past with me, and then we will talk about your potential future.
- Burglary (Breaking & Entering)Burglary (Breaking & Entering, B&E) occurs when someone enters the home or property of an individual with the intent actually to commit an offense. From a technical perspective, a burglary offense doesn’t require verification of breaking in, nor will it call for substantiation that the offense transpired on the inside. Burglary simply mandates substantiation that once the home or property has been accessed, that person had the mandatory intent.
Given that evidence of the burglary relies upon your intent at that point of entry, defenses exist. Who can tell you precisely what one’s intent happened to be? Phone my law firm, and we can review what many of those defenses usually are and what they can do for your situation.
- Felony Drug PossessionThe most commonly seen cause for criminal arrest in America is, without question, drug possession. Whether it be cocaine, illicitly obtained prescriptions (Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin, Lortab, etc.), crack, heroin, PCP, LSD, or peyote, possessing any type of illicit drug, besides small quantities of weed, will be a felony charge in the Sunshine State. Penalties can consist of imprisonment and probation, and, in the State of Florida, any kind of drug possession conviction leads to a required driver’s license revocation.
Remember that even though you have been around drugs, that does not necessarily mean you are unquestionably guilty. Phone my law firm. I will analyze all of your criminal charges. I will examine just how the intervention with the authorities started out. I will evaluate if your Fourth Amendment liberties have been breached. I will stand up for you. I will help!
- Probation ViolationWhen on probation, fairly ordinary daily activities can easily put you in danger of violating your probation and, as a consequence, getting delivered directly back to jail. I take pride in helping individuals with a variety of probation difficulties, like:
- Violation Defense
- Motions to Modify Probation
- Motions to Terminate Probation
- Speaking with Officers
- Clarification/Interpretation of Probation Terms and Conditions
The stipulations on your probation might sometimes be unclear and even contradictory. Countless violations are typically the result of basic misconceptions! You may want to come in for a complete assessment of your “probation papers” before you make a misstep that may violate your probation’s provisions. Let me walk you through the small print.
If you have already violated the terms and conditions due to some misconception or other reason, call me immediately. I’ve handled scores of probation violation legal cases over the years. Allow me to be of assistance.
- ExpungementsYour legal matter has now been dismissed. Your violations have now been dropped. Nonetheless, at this time, you should cleanse your arrest record, considering that any kind of criminal history check will still exhibit those violations. Any dismissed legal matter can easily keep you from receiving a good job, any kind of job promotion, and/or reaching various life ambitions.
Florida’s statutes allow you to expunge a complete criminal offense/legal matter. Depending upon various provisions, the most critical of which is that you’ve never previously been charged with any type of offense. This means numerous offenses from a single case, like a felony downgraded to only a misdemeanor, could wind up being totally removed from your record once and for all.
I will help cleanse your personal criminal background. I will help put a criminal arrest behind you by simply expunging the legal matter. Phone me to discuss how I could help you go forward with your life.
- DUIs & Traffic TicketsOne’s capability for making errors is, without question, to some extent, precisely what makes us all basically human. I see that as an inescapable fact. This is why I feel many traffic-connected fines are outrageous! I’ve enjoyed consistent results in getting offenses reduced or entirely dropped.
