CRIMINAL LAW
FELONY DEFENSE
Having an experienced Gainesville felony attorney is essential if you are charged with a felony. There are many jobs that require licensing by the State of Florida. Being a convicted felon could cause you to become ineligible for those licenses, and therefore ineligible for those jobs. Additionally, if convicted of a felony in Florida, you lose many of your civil rights including your right to serve on a jury, to run for public office, to own a firearm, and your right to vote.
Felony cases like Florida drug possession are the most complicated and serious crimes in the state and should be handled by an experienced Gainesville felony lawyer. The government saves its most experienced and decorated prosecutors to handle felony cases. It is important that you retain a Florida felony attorney who has the experience and knowledge to challenge these prosecutors. Make sure to hire a felony defense attorney in Gainesville that not only knows the legal implications of the allegation against you, but also the practical consequences. Learn how being accused of drug possession will affect your license.
