Areas of Practice

Miami Criminal Defense & Family Law

Criminal Defense - We have experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal offenses. We handle all types of criminal cases, including minor infractions and misdemeanors and the most serious felony indictments, such as, drunk driving, drug possession, narcotics sales, theft and grand larceny, white-collar fraud, embezzlement, sex offenses, arson, conspiracy and murder.

DUI - We have extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of drunk driving (DUI). If you are charged with drunk driving, the charges can impact your insurance rates, your ability to drive, and you may face jail time. It is important that you preserve your rights while protecting your reputation, regardless of the offense.

Traffic Violations - It may seem insignificant to others, but traffic violations can affect your insurance coverage, your reputation, and your ability to remain mobile. Make sure your rights are respected regardless of the offense; we will stand by you in court so you can be sure to obtain the best outcome possible.

Divorce and Separation - The law views marriage as a legal relationship between two people. Many matters arise when a marriage is to be dissolved or you decide to live apart. As your legal representative, we have the experience and creativity to understand the difficulties that arise and the flexibility to help you discover new ways to cope during this stressful time.

Custody & Visitation - Divorce is traumatic for parents and children. When searching for the right visitation schedule or deciding where the children should live, each party should have an attorney who is knowledgeable of Florida standards and sensitive to the concerns of both adults and children.

Child Support - Financial implications can be daunting when children are involved in a divorce. Because each state has a unique formula for determination of child support amounts, you need proactive representation to help you reach a fair settlement and efficiency to reduce legal costs.

Modification of Support and Custody - While your divorce terms may have been appropriate at the time of your divorce, your situation may have changed. We have represented clients seeking to have judgments reviewed and those whose former spouses ask for modifications. We also take on other post judgment issues, such as visitation.

Paternity - Establishing paternity is financially important and establishes parental rights as well as contributing to a child's sense of identity. We have access to the resources to help establish paternity or to set the record straight when paternity has been incorrectly asserted.

Adoption - Adoptive parents accept all the challenges, rights, and responsibilities of parenthood. The adoption process can be a maze of legal twists and turns. We know what it takes to navigate the adoption process quickly and efficiently and can help you bring your new family together with minimum delay.
