When facing charges for a violent crime, securing immediate legal counsel and representation is crucial to understanding the charges against you and exploring your defense options. Every case is unique, and mitigating or extenuating factors may lessen the severity of the offense. It may have been your first offense, or you might have acted out of self-defense. Perhaps you did not commit the offense and are a victim of mistaken identity. Or you may be the victim of baseless allegations motivated by anger, jealousy, or revenge. Whatever the circumstances, Ms. Dione is passionate about upholding your constitutionally guaranteed presumption of innocence and ensuring you receive a fair trial. With her extensive experience and resources, she will fight for the best possible resolution to your case.

How Can a Criminal Record Affect Your Future?

Beyond the legal consequences of a misdemeanor or felony conviction, a criminal record has far-reaching collateral consequences. Florida criminal records are public and can be accessed by interested parties. As such, you may face difficulty securing employment. There may be challenges in finding housing for you and your family, as landlords may see a criminal record as a red flag. Students with criminal records may struggle with college admission or federal student aid eligibility. Additionally, there may be restrictions on professional licensing or firearm ownership. Even child custody or visitation rights may be affected. These realities underscore the critical need for an experienced criminal defense attorney to fight against criminal charges vigorously.
