Criminal Defense Lawyers Wesley Chapel Florida
  • DUI/DWI
    Driving Under the Influence/Driving While Intoxicated charges are among the most common criminal offenses. If you've been charged with DUI or DWI because you were operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you could be facing fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. We can help clear your name by analyzing and challenging the evidence.
  • Drug Offenses
    Drug-related charges include possession, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking of illegal substances. The severity of these charges depends on the type and amount of drugs involved, as well as whether there was intent to distribute. We can challenge the legality of searches and seizures or negotiate for reduced charges.
  • Assault and battery
    Assault and battery charges arise from acts of physical violence or threats of violence. These charges can range from simple assault to aggravated assault, which involves more severe harm or the use of a weapon. Depending on your situation, we can argue self-defense, lack of intent, or seek to reduce the charges based on the circumstances.
  • Fraud
    Fraud charges involve deceit or misrepresentation to gain something of value. Common types of fraud include identity theft, credit card fraud, tax fraud, and insurance fraud. These cases often involve complex legal issues and significant penalties, making legal representation essential for navigating the charges and presenting a strong defense.
  • Domestic violence
    Domestic violence charges involve allegations of abuse or violence between individuals in a domestic relationship, such as spouses or partners. These cases can include physical assault, harassment, or threats. As your defense attorneys, we can work to protect your rights, challenge false allegations, or negotiate plea deals that avoid severe penalties.
  • Probation Violations
    Violating the terms of probation can lead to additional penalties, including jail time or extended probation. Common violations include failing to report to a probation officer, failing a drug test, or committing a new crime. If you have found yourself facing a probation violation, we can assist you by arguing for leniency or provide a defense against alleged violations.

Our team of attorneys here at Edge Law have been helping people in our community just like you. Facing criminal charges can be very stressful, and you may have a lot of questions.

What You May Be Facing

How A Criminal Conviction Can Affect Your Life and Your Future

If you are charged with a criminal offense, you could be facing a range of serious consequences that vary depending on the nature and severity of the charges.

If you’re convicted of a crime, you could be obligated to pay fines, you could face jail time (typically for misdemeanors) or prison time (for felonies). Instead of or in addition to incarceration, you might be placed on probation, which involves regular check-ins with a probation officer and adherence to specific conditions, such as avoiding certain activities or people.

Some offenses result in court-ordered community service. If your crime involved financial harm to a victim, you might be required to pay restitution to cover their losses.

Other issues you may face if you are convicted of a crime include having a permanent record, which can negatively affect your future when seeking employment, housing or professional licenses. This can also affect your rights, your reputation, relationships, cause future custody issues, restrictions, as well as losing your driver’s license.

Did You Know

A Top Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help With Your Criminal Charges In Many Different Ways

Acquittal

Some cases can result in an acquittal. An acquittal means you are found not guilty of the charges, either due to insufficient evidence, procedural errors, or successful defense arguments. In certain circumstances, Edge Law attorneys may be able to help get you an acquittal, putting an end to your stress and clearing your name.

Reduced Charges

Depending on the details of your criminal case, as defense attorneys, we may be able to negotiate with the prosecution for a plea deal where your original charges are reduced to lesser offenses. This can result in a more lenient sentence, lowered fines or other benefits for the defendant. We will pursue all avenues to negotiate for you.

Probation

Instead of imprisonment, a defendant may receive probation, which involves supervised release into the community under certain conditions. If the defendant complies with the terms of probation, they may avoid incarceration or have their sentence reduced.

Dismissal

Another great outcome for you would be a complete dismissal of your criminal charges. A dismissal occurs when the court decides to terminate your case before trial or possibly during trial as well. This can happen for various reasons, such as lack of probable cause, unlawful arrest, insufficient evidence, or violations of your rights during the process.

Diversion Programs

Instead of facing trial or incarceration, you may be eligible for diversion programs. These programs often involve rehabilitation, education, counseling, or community service as an alternative to traditional criminal penalties. As your attorneys, we can pursue this for you to help you avoid possible jail time, and prevent you from having a permanent criminal record.

Sealing or Expungement

After a successful defense or completion of certain requirements, some defendants may be eligible to have their criminal record sealed or expunged. This can help mitigate the long-term consequences of a criminal charge on employment and other aspects of life.

Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve for your criminal defense case. We are here to help you through every step of the process, so your rights can be protected and you can be treated fairly. Give us a call today at (813) 708-9400 to schedule a free consultation.
