ORLANDO TOURIST CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS

Tourists come from around the world to Central Florida communities, including Orlando, Deltona, Daytona Beach, Ocala, and Melbourne to visit theme parks and enjoy the beaches. Unfortunately, visitors to the Orlando area may find themselves charged with crimes, including shoplifting, assault, speeding, or Drunk Driving (DWI / DUI). We are available to represent people throughout Florida including Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Ocala, Daytona Beach, Windermere, Bay Hill and Jupiter.

When in an unfamiliar setting, it is common for tourists to wander out of a store with unpaid merchandise while tending to their families - a mistake that could result in a felony conviction and a 5 year prison sentence. Unfamiliar traffic laws and signs or an altercation in a bar may result in your arrest for speeding or assault. If you are charged with a crime while visiting Central Florida, you need a Florida criminal defense lawyer to represent your interests.

In talking to the authorities without an attorney, a person risks:

1. Giving an incorrect answer due to an honest lapse of memory
2. Miscommunication resulting from either the person's or officer's misunderstanding of the questions or answers.
3. Intentional misrepresentation of the person's statement by the officer.

Any one of these events may adversely affect the person under investigation by increasing the likelihood of authorities filing criminal charges and obtaining an indictment. Serious crimes involve a bad intent on the part of the defendant. One of the major ways the prosecution proves bad intent is through statements given during interviews which are claimed to be admissions or lies.

Attorneys from our Orlando criminal defense law office have been defending clients in Florida courts for over 30 years. If you live out of state and were charged with a crime while in Florida, it may be difficult to defend yourself and prevent serious consequences if convicted. Contact our Orlando criminal defense firm for a consultation about your case, and how best to proceed. We will carefully examine the facts and the evidence being used against you, negotiate for dismissal or reduced charges and lenient sentencing, and when necessary, aggressively represent you at trial and on appeal.
