Lopez, P.A., we understand the stakes and provide strong, strategic legal representation to protect your rights. Our firm has helped countless individuals in Orlando and throughout Central Florida fight their criminal charges and achieve favorable outcomes.
Defending Your Rights Against Criminal Charges
A criminal charge does not have to define your future. Whether you have been accused of a misdemeanor or a serious felony, we are prepared to fight for you. Our firm handles a wide range of criminal cases, including but not limited to:
- DUI and Traffic Offenses: Florida takes DUI offenses seriously, with severe penalties for those convicted. We explore every legal defense available, from improper traffic stops to faulty breathalyzer results.
- Drug Crimes: From simple possession to trafficking, drug charges carry harsh consequences. We work to challenge unlawful searches, question evidence, and negotiate for reduced penalties.
- Violent Crimes: If you are accused of assault, battery, robbery, or another violent offense, we build a strong defense by analyzing witness statements, surveillance footage, and forensic evidence.
- Domestic Violence: Accusations of domestic violence can have immediate and lasting effects on your life. We work to challenge false allegations and protect your legal rights.
- Theft and Property Crimes: Whether you are facing shoplifting, burglary, or grand theft charges, we strive to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
- White Collar Crimes: Fraud, embezzlement, and identity theft charges require careful analysis of financial records and electronic communications. We build detailed defenses to counter complex allegations.
- Juvenile Crimes: A mistake in youth should not define a person’s future. We help minors and their families navigate the juvenile justice system with the goal of minimizing long-term consequences.
- Federal Crimes: Facing federal charges? We have the knowledge and resources to take on federal prosecutors and build a solid defense in high-stakes cases.
Understanding the Florida Criminal Justice System
Navigating the criminal justice system can be daunting. Florida law enforcement and prosecutors work aggressively to secure convictions, often seeking the maximum penalties. Without skilled legal representation, you may be pressured into accepting an unfavorable plea deal or facing a harsh sentence.
At our firm, we take the time to educate our clients on the legal process, ensuring they understand their rights and options. From arraignment to trial, we stand by your side, advocating for your best interests every step of the way.
Potential Defenses to Criminal Charges
Every case is unique, and our approach depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Some common defense strategies we may explore include:
- Unlawful Search and Seizure: If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights, evidence against you may be inadmissible in court.
- Lack of Evidence: The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence is weak, we push for case dismissal or acquittal.
- Mistaken Identity: Eyewitness misidentifications are more common than many realize. We challenge questionable identifications and seek alternative explanations.
- Self-Defense: If you acted to protect yourself or others, we work to demonstrate that your actions were legally justified.
- Violation of Constitutional Rights: From Miranda rights violations to coerced confessions, any breach of your rights can impact the prosecution’s case.
