Violent Crimes

Drugs, murder, and other violent crimes are all too common in Miami and other communities throughout the greater Miami area, including the Miami metropolitan counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, surrounding counties and the state of Florida. As unpopular as violent crimes and violent criminals are in Miami, individuals accused of violent crimes have the same rights as any other criminal defendant, including the right to an attorney; the right to a jury trial, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right against self-incrimination , and the right to produce evidence. Individuals accused of violent crimes, including murder and drug-related offenses, are typically those most in need of these Constitutional safeguards, as emotion and character evidence is often used to taint and sway the minds of the public, the court, and the jury.

Some of our recent cases:

  • The biggest drug case in Florida history -- the defendant attempted to buy a Russian Submarine to bring 40 tons of cocaine up the west coast of the US.
  • The biggest white collar case in Florida -- the defendant was accused of defrauding the Espirito Santos Bank of 170 million dollars.
  • The Mayor of South Miami, Florida, who was arrested the day before election day for taking an illegal campaign payment -- on tape -- not guilty at trial.
  • We have had in excess of 350 jury trials.
