Criminal Defense

If You Have Been Charged With A Crime, It's Time To Speak With An Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer. For many people, a single moment of indiscretion can have serious, life-altering consequences. Perhaps you had one drink too many before getting behind the wheel and were arrested for DWI/DUI. Or maybe your son or daughter fell in with the wrong crowd and stands accused of drug-related charges. No matter the circumstances, facing criminal charges is an intimidating experience.

Why should I choose you over a public defender?

While public defenders do play a critical role in the criminal justice system-especially for those who cannot afford to hire their own private attorney—it is not uncommon that they will be carrying a caseload of several hundred cases at any given time. As such, even public defenders with the very best of intentions are not likely to have the time to handle any single case with the same care and thoughtfulness that a private attorney will be able to. It is this close attention to detail that, in many cases, can make the difference in cases that seem impossibly complex.

How much is my car accident worth?

It’s important to remember that although every car accident is different, the value of a car accident claim, or the money that the injured accident victim is likely to receive in their claim for compensation, may depend on various factors, including the underlying facts and circumstances of the crash, the severity of your injuries and how your injuries have affected your life, how the at-fault driver’s insurance company values your case, and how a jury might value your case and award you compensation.

That is why it's so crucial that you call us as soon as possible so we may investigate what the limits are. This allows us to give you a proper estimate of what you can expect.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident?

Under Florida's statute of limitations, you generally have four years from the date of a car accident in which to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation from the driver or party responsible for the accident and your injuries. Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has run on your claim may mean that you permanently lose the right to seek compensation from those at fault for your injuries and losses. That makes it critical to start your car accident claim as soon as possible.

Your insurance rate should not increase if you are not at fault.

Medical Malpractice

A Local Firm Holding Health Care Providers Accountable In Medical Malpractice Claims. When obtaining the services of a doctor or other health care professional, you're assuming that you will receive the appropriate care and attention your condition deserves. However, numerous patients in Central Florida and throughout the U.S. have their ailments exacerbated by the negligent actions, or in some case's inaction, of their healthcare providers.

Do I have a case?

One of the most commonly asked questions from potential medical malpractice clients is: “Do you think I have a case?” To which our honest response is: “We are not sure.”

The reason that we may not be sure is that medical malpractice cases must be reviewed by experts. When a doctor leaves a foreign instrument inside a patient’s body following surgery or operates on the wrong body part, it is an obvious case of medical malpractice. But not all cases are that obvious, and that is why you need a medical malpractice lawyer who will thoroughly investigate your case and look for qualified experts to help you prove your case.

Is there a statute of limitations on medical malpractice in Florida?

There is a statute of limitations of two years after the discovery of the injury or when the injury should have been discovered. This means that the “clock” starts when the individual first learns that malpractice may have happened to them, regardless of when the actual malpractice happened.

For example, if someone discovers today that a clamp was left in their chest cavity from a surgery three years before, the statute of limitations begins today, and from today, they have two years to file a lawsuit

Is it malpractice if I didn’t obtain the desired outcome after a treatment or operation?

This depends on why the desired outcome did not happen. Most of the time, patients give informed consent to procedures. They’re made aware of the risks and the likelihood that it may not turn out exactly as they had hoped. If the doctor followed the standard of care and the outcome wasn’t exactly what you hoped for anyway, then it may not be malpractice.

However, if the doctor deviated from the standard of care and the outcome was bad enough that it caused you harm, then it could be malpractice.
