DUI Charges (DUI Drugs and DUI Alcohol)
In Martin County, a DUI conviction doesn’t just mean fines and potential jail time—it can destroy career opportunities, especially here in local towns and cities where many jobs require a pristine driving record.

Whether you’re facing a first-time DUI or a repeat offense, time is critical. The sooner we can examine the evidence, from field sobriety tests to chemical analysis results, the stronger your defense will be.

Don’t let one traffic stop derail your entire future.
Suspended License and Traffic Offenses
In a county as spread out as Martin, losing your license is more than an inconvenience. It’s also a threat to your livelihood. Our traffic offense attorney understands that maintaining your driving privileges can mean the difference between keeping and losing your job in our community, where public transportation is limited.

Dealing with a suspension or fighting a serious traffic violation? We’ll work to keep you on the road legally.
Drug Crimes
Drug charges in Martin County can affect your ability to rent an apartment, secure employment, or even qualify for student loans. Our skilled drug crime lawyer knows how to challenge every aspect of your case, from questioning the initial stop to scrutinizing search and seizure procedures.

With so much at stake, you need a defense team like ours that understands both the law and the local court system.
Firearm Charges
Florida’s gun laws are complex, and in Martin County, even a minor firearms violation can lead to major consequences. From charges for improper concealed carry to more severe weapons offenses, we understand the nuances of Florida’s self-defense and firearm laws. We’ll fight to protect both your freedom and your Second Amendment rights.
Violent Offenses
Being charged with a violent crime in Martin County can feel like you’ve already been judged guilty by everyone around you. But we know there are two sides to every story.

Regardless of whether you’re facing assault charges after a misunderstanding at a local bar or dealing with domestic violence allegations, we’ll ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected. Remember: an accusation is not the same as a conviction.
Probation Violations
A probation violation can feel like a trap—one missed check-in or failed drug test, and suddenly you’re facing the original sentence plus new penalties. But a violation doesn’t automatically mean you’re heading to jail. We know how to negotiate with probation officers and present compelling evidence to the court that you deserve a second chance.
Theft Charges
In Martin County’s close-knit communities, a theft charge can follow you for years. This conviction can affect everything from job applications to personal relationships. From shoplifting accusations from one of our local retailers to more serious grand theft charges, we understand how to negotiate with prosecutors and fight for alternatives that protect your reputation and your record.
Juvenile Offenses
When your child faces criminal charges, the fear can be overwhelming—will this mistake follow them forever? Will it destroy their chances at college or a career?

We’re deeply familiar with Martin County’s juvenile justice system and know how to work with prosecutors to find solutions that focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Your child’s future doesn’t have to be defined by one mistake.
Injunctions and Restraining Orders
In Martin County’s smaller communities, an injunction or restraining order can make everyday life nearly impossible. These orders can force you to change your daily routine, avoid specific locations, and even impact your ability to see your children.

We’ll help you fight against false allegations and work to modify or dismiss unjust restrictions that are disrupting your life.
