Practice Areas


Child Abuse


Charges of child abuse may include physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse, or neglect. Allegations of child abuse are sometimes misguided, requiring a skilled attorney to set the record straight. The law requires people in many fields to report suspected child abuse. However, their suspicions aren’t always correct. If you’ve been accused of this crime, Connie can properly represent you.

Domestic Violence


When police in Florida are involved in a situation were someone alleges domestic battery they must make an arrest. Many clients involved in these cases have never been arrested before. An experienced criminal attorney will explore strategies to get the charges dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge, and that is why you need Connie to represent you.

Driving-Related Crimes


Common traffic offenses include DUI, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, license issues, and more. Many of these offenses are misdemeanors carrying fines and license suspension, but repeated violations can result in felony charges.  An experienced attorney can work to minimize the impact of these charges, and that is why you need Connie to represent you.  

Drug-Related Crimes


The State of Florida carries serious penalties for drug crimes including trafficking, possession, selling, or manufacturing controlled substances. Falsely obtaining or prescribing a controlled substance also falls under this category. Many of these crimes carry minimum mandatory sentences of imprisonment, and that is why you need Connie to represent you.  

Probation Violations


Failing to follow the conditions of your probation or committing a new crime while on probation will lead to a violation. The probationer will likely remain in jail without a bond until the case is resolved. An experienced attorney will work to resolve the violation as expeditiously as possible.  That is why you need Connie to represent you.  

Homicide


If you have been charged with a crime that resulted in the death of another person, you need an experienced attorney. Crafting a successful defense gives you the best chances for a positive outcome. Connie has represented people charged with Murder, Manslaughter, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident involving a death. This is why you need Connie to represent you. 

Sex Crimes


Charges of sex crimes include sexual assault, date rape, molestation, indecent exposure, prostitution, sexual interactions with minors, and more. These offenses are often published in local media. Conviction of some of these offenses not only carries stiff penalties but can result in a sex offender designation that restricts where you live and who you come in contact with.  Connie has experience defending these types of crimes and that is why you need Connie to represent you. 

Theft


Examples of theft crimes include shoplifting, burglary, robbery, grand theft, carjacking, and white-collar crimes of misappropriating property or funds and committing fraud. Penalties vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the crime. They may include probation, fines, and/or jail time or imprisonment. Involving an experienced attorney can help minimize your penalties and that is why you need Connie to represent you.
