We are a dedicated criminal defense law office. We will explain your situation, your Rights, and what you can expect as it relates to your specific situation. Call us for a free consultation on any criminal charge.
We offer complete representation. This includes representation at the arraignment, bond hearings, pre-trial conferences, all motion hearings, and the trial if a trial is necessary. We will also discuss and counsel our clients regarding future consequences, both legal and non-legal, and assist them in minimizing the long-term effects of an arrest. Criminal charges are serious, even those that seem minor. Once you have been arrested you start a criminal arrest record. This record is a public record and is available to employers and the public at-large. It is important that you address all criminal charges properly so that this criminal record can be removed (sealed or expunged) from the public record upon the resolution of your case.

THINGS YOU CAN DO NOW:
Do not talk with law
enforcement. No matter how much they tell you that they
want to help you - don't talk to them. You have the inalienable
Rights
including the Right to Remain Silent - keep quiet. Law enforcement has one
agenda - to accuse people of crimes and gather as much "incriminating"
evidence as possible to make their accusations turn into guilty
verdicts. If they have decided to accuse you of a crime they
will disregard any evidence to the contrary including whatever
explanation you may offer. Worse, they will try to get you to
admit to certain facts that support their position. Invoke
your Right to remain silent and do not talk to law enforcement.
(This is a concept that is often hard to accept START GATHERING YOUR EVIDENCE: Get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of your witnesses - law enforcement won't do it for you. Take pictures of anything that will support you position. This includes your injuries, any damage to property, and the area of the alleged offense. If law enforcement executed a warrant against your home or car take pictures of the damage they caused. If they broke you door down - take a picture of the damage. Contact us immediately. Get more specific information about the offense you have been charged with by clicking the link to the right. If what you have been charged with is not listed then please call us. If you have been accused of any of the following offenses, call us. This list is not complete. Even if the charge you have been arrested for is not on this list we can help. Calls and consultations are free of charge. (407) 841-5555 - Orlando Criminal Attorney Eric J Dirga |
