Personal injury can occur when a person suffers an injury or death as a result of another’s negligence, recklessness, intentional act, or inaction. Injuries sustained due to the fault of others can be serious and life changing.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE:
"I’ve been arrested! What should I do?”
When a person is arrested, it can be both frightening and confusing. As you may have experienced, persons accused of a criminal offense are often released from custody with little or no information concerning their charges. That’s why it’s important to know the strengths and weaknesses of your case:
• Were you illegally stopped or detained?
• Were you read your Miranda rights?
• Can your statements be suppressed because
they were illegally obtained?
• Can the evidence in your case be suppressed
because of an illegal search or seizure?
• Are you eligible for a diversion program where your
charges may be dismissed? It’s also important that you know a criminal charge, as well as a criminal conviction, could drastically affect your life. Many times, there are defenses available that, if successful, can prevent most, if not all, of the costly penalties associated with your charge. There are several ways to resolve criminal charges:
• There are motions to dismiss charges
• There are motions to suppress evidence
• Your charge could be reduced to a lesser
charge
• Jury Trial

“I’m having a dispute with my tenant or landlord, what should I do ?”
Florida Tenant/Landlord law can appear both broad and complex. Most tenants and landlords are aware there are laws dealing with tenant-landlord relationships and that they have certain rights when they are involved in a dispute; however, they often don't know those rights or the proper procedures to follow during such a dispute. Disputes between tenants and landlords can involve a wide range of issues. For example, a tenant may wish to terminate a lease or withhold rent due to a landlord’s noncompliance with the rental agreement or the law; or a landlord may want to terminate a lease or evict a tenant for the tenant’s noncompliance with the rental agreement or the law, or there may be a dispute regarding the security deposit. If you are having a dispute with either a landlord or a tenant, call your attorney . . .
