As you wander around a department store, you see many things that you’d love to take home; however, your bank account says otherwise. You stumble upon a pair of sunglasses that just so happen to fit you perfectly. You glance in the mirror and continue to sport them around the store. Nothing else seems to catch your eye so you turn to leave, but are confronted before you can exit. The glasses that were so appealing are still arched over your ears and resting on your nose, and before you can begin to blurt out an explanation, law enforcement is placing you under arrest and reciting your Miranda rights.

As property crimes refer to those against one’s possessions, violent crimes are those that involve the use of force to inflict harm. While each type of crime is associated with a specified penalty, they also have certain precedents and defenses of which your attorney can present. This is why it is essential that your criminal defense lawyer is one with experience defending against a range of charges including:
A conviction for any of these charges can result in numerous years in prison and tens (even hundreds) of thousands of dollars in fines. Depending on what degree you are charged with and the number of counts, you may face decades in prison. This is why you should utilize the days after your arrest to adequately prepare yourself for your day in court.
Many individuals assume that any legal representation is good representation. With that mindset, they allow the days after their arrest to pass without taking any action, relying on the fact that the courts will provide them with a public defender. Not only is this highly unfavorable, but you miss the opportunity to have legal counsel as you make critical decisions that’ll follow you for the rest of your life.
In 2009, Florida public defenders had over 500 felony cases and 2,225 misdemeanor cases annually. It is likely that those numbers have yet to budge. With such a massive caseload, it should come as no surprise why a majority of their cases result in unfavorable rulings. Rather than entrust your case with an overwhelmed public defender, acquire the legal services of a Casselberry criminal defense lawyer who can pay special attention to your case in particular.
