Tequesta Criminal Lawyer & DUI Attorney

ary Jane, Marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, chronic, krypy, etc., is illegal in Florida. For the moment anyway! The “It’s just a joint” attitude can result in a year in jail, a $1,000 fine and a mandatory driver’s license suspension. Possession of over twenty grams is far worse!

I have earned an impressive track record as a Tequesta Criminal Attorney defending against all kinds of drug possession criminal charges over the years – especially marijuana possession. Chances are I can get your charges dismissed, avoid conviction entirely, and keep your license. However, bear in mind, what I can do varies and is dependent on a lot of factors. So, contact me and we’ll discuss your options…

urglary (Breaking & Entering, B&E) takes place when a person enters the property of another with the intent to commit a crime. Technically, a burglary charge does not require proof of breaking in, nor does it require proof that a crime occurred inside. Burglary only requires proof that when the property was entered the person had the necessary intent.

Since proof of the burglary hinges on your intent at the moment of entry , there are defenses. Who can truly tell you what your intent was? Call my office and we can discuss just what those defenses are and what they can do for you.

he most common reason for arrest in the United States is drug possession. Be it cocaine, illegally obtained pills (Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin, Lortab, Etc.), crack, heroin, pcp, lsd, or peyote, possession of any illegal drug, except small amounts of marijuana, is a felony in Florida. Punishments often normally include jail or probation and, in Florida, a drug possession conviction results in a mandatory license suspension .

Remember, just because you were near drugs does not mean that you are guilty. Call my office. I will examine your case. I will analyze how the interaction with law enforcement began. I will determine whether your Fourth Amendment rights were violated. I will fight for you. I will help !

hen on probation, seemingly simple everyday jobs can put you at risk of violating your probation and getting sent back to jail. I take pride in representing individuals in all probation issues, including:

• Violation Defense
• Motions to Modify Probation
• Motions to Terminate Probation
• Communicating with Officers
• Clarification/Interpretation of Probation Conditions

The terms and conditions of your probation can be confusing, and even contradictory at times. Many violations are the result of innocent misunderstandings! You should come in for a comprehensive review of your “probation papers” before making a mistake that will violate your probation’s terms. I’ll walk you through the details.

If you have already violated your terms because of a misunderstanding, or otherwise, contact me immediately. I have resolved countless probation violation cases over the years. I can help.

our case has been dismissed. The charges have been dropped. However, now you need to clear your record because a background check will still show those charges. A dismissed case can prevent you from getting a job, a promotion, or hold you back from achieving a variety of other life goals.

Fortunately, Florida’s laws permit a person to expunge an entire arrest/case. Subject to certain conditions, most important of which is that you have never previously been convicted of any crime. That means that multiple violations from one case, including a felony down filed to a misdemeanor, can be entirely deleted from your record forever.

I can help you clear your criminal record. I can help you put an arrest behind you by expunging the case. Call me to discuss how I can help you move on with your life.
