Petit Theft

Petit theft may seem like a small offense, but it can have lasting effects on your personal and professional life. We investigate every detail of the case to challenge the evidence, questioning the value of the property and the circumstances surrounding the alleged theft.

Disorderly Conduct or Disorderly Intoxication

Charges of disorderly conduct or disorderly intoxication often arise from misunderstandings or overreactions. Our attorneys are skilled in defending against these charges by evaluating the situation, gathering witness statements, and focusing on protecting your rights throughout the process.

Assault

An assault charge, even without physical contact, can lead to criminal penalties and a criminal record. We focus on breaking down the evidence and highlighting any inconsistencies to build a solid defense that challenges the prosecution’s claims.

Battery

Battery accusations are serious, but the facts don’t always match the charges. We carefully examine every detail, from the nature of the alleged physical contact to the context of the incident, in order to present a defense that reflects the true situation.

Possession of Marijuana

Though marijuana laws in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas County are evolving, possession charges still carry weight. Our attorneys will scrutinize the facts surrounding the charge, looking for any legal issues such as unlawful search and seizure, and exploring every option to reduce or dismiss the charges.

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Possession of drug paraphernalia charges can arise from routine items being wrongly associated with criminal activity. We take a comprehensive approach to uncover the facts, challenge evidence, and seek to have charges reduced or dismissed.

Obstructing or Resisting Arrest Without Violence

Being accused of resisting arrest without violence can often stem from a moment of confusion or an officer’s misunderstanding. Our legal team works to expose any flaws in the arrest process, aiming to reduce the charges or have them dismissed.
