The Former Public Defender Advantage
I KNOW HOW PROSECUTORS THINK
As a Specially Appointed Public Defender for Miami-Dade County (1997–2006), I defended hundreds of criminal cases. I know prosecution strategies, pressure tactics, and which cases they'll actually take to trial. This insider knowledge is your advantage.
TRIAL EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Most criminal cases never go to trial—because most defense attorneys avoid trial. Prosecutors know this. When they know your attorney won't fight, you lose negotiating leverage. I've tried cases for 28 years. They know I'll go to trial. That changes negotiations.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
Illegal searches. Miranda violations. Coerced confessions. Due process failures. Police and prosecutors cut corners. I file motions to suppress. Evidence may be excluded. I fight for dismissal. Your constitutional rights matter.
BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL COURT
Licensed in U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. Federal charges carry severe mandatory minimums. Federal sentencing guidelines require specific knowledge. Federal prosecutors are highly trained. You need an attorney with federal experience.
If You're Arrested
REMAIN SILENT
"I want a lawyer." Say nothing else. Not your side of the story. Not "I didn't do it." Nothing. Everything you say will be used against you. Silence cannot.
DO NOT CONSENT TO SEARCHES
"I do not consent to searches." If they had probable cause, they wouldn't ask. Your consent waives Fourth Amendment protection. Never consent.
CALL IMMEDIATELY
(305) 371-5060. Prosecution starts building their case the moment you're arrested. Every hour you wait gives them an advantage. Call now.
DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE
Not cellmates. Not jail staff. Not family on recorded lines. Not "friends" who might testify. Only your attorney. Attorney-client privilege protects our conversations. Nothing else does.
Police will lie. "It'll be better if you cooperate." It won't.
Cooperation means confession. Let your attorney negotiate cooperation if it benefits you. Never do it without counsel.
The Prosecution Has Already Started
Every hour you wait, they build their case. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Rights get waived. Call now.
