Criminal Defense Attorney Serving Central Florida

Criminal trials are very serious affairs. No matter how you look at them, they can be very dangerous to the freedom, reputation and peace of mind of anybody accused or charged with an offense.

Criminal allegations can be very disruptive and they can alienate friends, family, colleagues and members of your social circles. This can be especially difficult to take when the allegations are false, incorrect or simply different from what people seem to believe.

The consequences of a criminal conviction in Florida can also be devastating. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a person convicted in Florida may be punished with significant jail or prison time, probation, community control (house arrest), fines, or even forced to sign up in an offender register. Even worse, the effects of a criminal conviction linger for long after the penalties for the offense have been completed.

A person with a criminal history may find it very difficult to get back to their life and livelihood. Many find it hard to get good-paying jobs, education, housing, loans, or join professional organizations.

Attorney Michael D. Barber understands the devastating effects of a criminal conviction, and is prepared to provide you with the vigorous defense that you deserve. Simply put, at the foundation of our criminal law practice is the understanding that there are always two sides to every story. You deserve to have your own side of the story heard, and to have an attorney that will fight to help you obtain the best possible outcome.

Our criminal law practice is devoted to providing legal guidance and representation to people from all over Central Florida. Some of the criminal law cases we handle include:

If you have been charged with any of these offenses, you should get in touch with our experienced criminal defense attorney for help. Success in these criminal cases depends on hiring criminal law attorneys who understand the law and knows what defenses to present on your behalf to get the case dismissed, charges reduced, or minimize the terms of your sentence.

When Should You Contact A Florida Criminal Defense Attorney?

You should call the Law Office of Michael D. Barber immediately after you learn that you are being investigated for an offense or are charged with a crime. While this answer may seem obvious, the truth is many people initially react to criminal charges with disbelief or denial. These reactions are very natural but the truth is that any delay in contacting a criminal defense attorney can have a detrimental effect on your case. The earlier you can get an experienced criminal defense attorney involved, the better.

Even from the very beginning of a case, prosecutors and law enforcement officers are already planning their trial strategies and perfecting their case against you. They will be collecting evidence, speaking to witnesses, and building a case they are reasonably certain will result in a conviction.

As a result, you simply cannot afford to delay before consulting with and hiring a skilled criminal defense attorney to fight on your behalf. Having an attorney on your side increases the chances they will be able to build a solid defense to the charges against you. Their guidance and presence early in the case can be a key factor in ensuring you do not incriminate yourself with unnecessary or inadvertent mistakes.

With an experienced attorney by your side from the start, it becomes easier to help enforce your constitutional rights, such as remaining silent and refraining from incriminating yourself. Sometimes, individuals feel prosecutors or police officers will understand that “this is all just a big mix-up” and try to explain their side of the story. But the reality is often very different. A person may say things that do not help their case at all in trying to do this, and may even provide the evidence prosecutors need to secure conviction.

The rights and constitutional protections afforded to persons charged with an offense exist for a reason – they are there to protect you. But it is only with the guidance of a dedicated criminal defense attorney that you can take full advantage these rights and implement them in your favor.
