Have you or someone close to you been arrested or charged with a crime in Florida? It’s important to have legal help and advice so your rights aren’t trampled on by overenthusiastic police officers or prosecutors. A Valrico, FL, criminal defense lawyer can start protecting you from the moment you are arrested, guiding you through police questioning (and advising you when to remain silent), and helping negotiate a lower bond so you can go home to your family or back to work.
Even if you believe that the charge is erroneous or that everything will be all right if you can just tell your side of the story, by the time police get involved, it may be too late to avoid consequences. Contact Olivero Law, P.A. today—don’t jeopardize your rights and freedom by waiting!
The earlier you can secure skilled legal representation in a criminal matter, the better chance you have for a successful resolution of the matter. When you choose a criminal defense attorney from our firm, we begin our advocacy immediately, making sure that we’re present during police questioning, investigating the incident and, gathering our own evidence, and scrutinizing the police process to determine whether there was a violation of your civil rights.
We know Florida criminal statutes well and are well-versed in case law and criminal procedure. If there is an overreach by law enforcement, we’ll spot it – and stop it. We support your rights and vigorously defend you in hearings and other court appearances. If evidence was collected in a manner that violated your civil rights or otherwise improperly, or if there was a problem with your warrant or arrest, we can petition to have the matter dismissed or the evidence removed from consideration by a judge and jury.
We carefully build a case on your behalf, using solid evidence and testimony, and prepare for a trial. We can also negotiate a plea arrangement on your behalf if this is an option for you. We usually get a better deal from the prosecutor than you would be able to negotiate on your own. But most of all, we’re on your side, listen to you, and are committed to making your voice heard.
Even if you’re arrested, there is a chance that you will not be formally charged with a crime. When you secure representation from a criminal defense attorney before you’re charged, your lawyer may be able to question the admissibility or validity of the evidence that the police present to the State Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors determine whether there is enough evidence to file charges; we may be able to have some that weren’t properly collected thrown out of consideration.
If you’re charged with a crime, we strive to prove your innocence, fighting for your rights at every step. Even if you are convicted, our representation doesn’t end, as we can help present mitigating factors to the judge at sentencing or negotiate for a lesser penalty.
From a petty misdemeanor to a capital felony, trust a skilled criminal defense attorney from Olivero Law, P.A., to defend your rights and fight for your freedom. We offer personalized representation from a tenacious Valrico criminal defense lawyer and a vigorous defense of your rights and freedom – call us today!
