Melbourne, Florida, Attorney Handles Child Abuse Cases
Accusations and charges involving child abuse, aggravated child abuse and child neglect all have the very real potential to impact you for the rest of your life. These offenses are felonies that must be taken seriously. If you are contacted about child abuse by police or a state agency such as the Florida Department of Children and Families, you should contact an experienced lawyer right away.
A Capable Lawyer to Help Guide Your Actions and Legal Decisions
There is no denying the horrors faced by abused and neglected children, or the scope of a problem that has been reported to affect over three million children nationwide each year. However, many people face unwarranted or exaggerated charges and the challenges of a very complex system.
Too often, an innocent person makes statements to police or state officials that can be used against him or her, believing honesty is best. In fact, protecting your rights in these situations requires a lawyer who will vigorously investigate your case. Regardless of what you know is true, you should avoid answering questions without a capable criminal defense lawyer.
In addition to handling child abuse cases, I have valuable experience — as both a prosecutor and a focused, dedicated defense attorney — with cases involving:
- Domestic violence
- Battery/assault and other violent crimes
- Sex offenses
I have gained in-depth knowledge of how prosecutors think and operate, as well as what the reactions of judges and juries are to a range of defense methods. I know how to investigate and build your case, and I will offer personal attention and honest counsel at every turn.
You Deserve Capable, Assertive Defense Against Serious Charges
Whatever child abuse or neglect charge you are facing, and whatever your history, you deserve to have your perspective heard and the facts of your case established. I will approach you as a valuable human being whose freedom, future and reputation may well be on the line. You can depend on an accurate assessment of the consequences you face, a clear explanation of your legal options and my honest view of your likelihood of success with any given approach.
