Being arrested is a terrifying experience. From the moment the officer puts his handcuffs around your wrists until the moment you are booked in jail, fear and uncertainty overwhelm you. The consequences of a criminal conviction include excessive fines, probation, and incarceration. Without a criminal lawyer, commonly it can mean the loss of freedoms and liberties that you may have taken for granted before, such as the right to vote, carry a weapon, drive, or live where ever you choose.

Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include:

- DUI

Being charged with a DUI can be a terrifying experience. First you're handcuffed, arrested and transported to jail. You're confronted with the decision of whether or not to submit to a breath test. You are told that your decision to cooperate or not could mean the loss of your license and ability to drive. While you are encountering unfamiliar legal issues, you are not entitled to a lawyer. Regardless of your decisions on the night of your DUI, you may spend the night in jail. Finally, you are faced with fines, penalties, and possible incarceration.

* Drug Crimes

We are experienced at handling drug related crimes. The attorneys at Denmon & Denmon Law represent clients on a wide array of drug crimes, including: Drug Trafficking; Doctor Shopping, or Withholding Information from a Doctor; Drug Possession in Florida; Possession of Controlled Substances with the Intent to Sell; Sales of Controlled Substances; Manufacture of Drugs; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia; DUI while impaired by drugs.

* Theft Crimes

A Conviction for a Theft related crime can have a devastating impact on your future employment prospects. In an age where background checks are common practices even in small companies, a theft conviction may keep you from obtaining the job you need. A theft crime conviction can also have a devastating impact on your freedom. The severity of the punishment the State Attorney will seek if you are accused of a theft crime will rise with the value of the amount of goods allegedly stolen. For example, if the value of the goods allegedly stolen is in excess of $100,000, then a conviction is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

* Traffic Offenses

Most everyone has been cited for a traffic related offense at one time or another. Civil citations, such as speeding, improper backing, or failure to maintain a single lane, are punishable by hefty fines and points on your driving record. Many people are surprised to find, however, that some traffic related offenses are also criminal charges or ordinance violations, punishable by substantial fines and even incarceration. Reckless Driving, DUI, and driving without a valid license are criminal charges that can adversely affect your future.

* Juvenile Crimes

The Juvenile Justice System is different than the regular criminal court system because the focus is on rehabilitating rather than punishing the criminal offender. In the majority of cases, an individual under the age of 18 facing pending criminal charges will be in the juvenile justice system. In a minority of serious cases, the State Attorney will bring the charges against the individual in adult criminal court, even though he or she may be under 18 years of age. While juvenile court has a focus on rehabilitation, the financial and incarcerative consequences of a juvenile conviction can have long lasting effects on the juvenile and his parent. A conviction for a juvenile offense may result in two types of sentences: probation or commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

* Battery

Felony Battery occurs when an individual actually and intentionally strikes another person against their will; also, when they intentionally cause bodily harm on the individual. Battery can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the severity of the crime. Aggravated Battery is knowingly or intentionally causing great harm, permanent disability, and permanent disfigurement or uses a deadly weapon.

* Assault

Assault is the unlawful threat by word or act to do a violent act to do a violent act to another person, when the person threatening has a reasonable ability to actually commit the acts. Assault is typically a misdemeanor. Aggravated Assault, however, is a threat with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill, or with the intent to commit a felony. This will typically be punishable as a third degree felony.

- Divorce and Family Law

Besides the death of a loved one, divorce is the most difficult event a person can experience. The emotions that accompany the end of a relationship, the uncertainty over child custody, and the stress of the financial impact of your divorce can inhibit your ability to function in your daily life. The right family law attorney is absolutely imperative to guide you through your family law matter. Our Family Lawyers can help you solve the following problems: Divorce, Child Support, Child Custody, Post Judgment Modifications, Mediation, and Child Relocation.

* Child Support

Florida Statute 61.30 addresses child support guidelines. Both parents have the obligation to pay for and support minor children. All questions as to how much child support needs to be paid by the non-custodial parent starts with the statutory guidelines. While this is a starting point for discussions, a wide array of factors can adjust the actual amount paid upwards or downwards. Issues such as day-care, after school activities, and school activities is not in the child support guidelines, and must be addresses separately.

* Child Custody

Florida Statutes, Chapter 61.13 (3) outlines the rules and guidelines for child custody and visitation arrangements. All family cases with minor children must establish a “parenting plan”. This plan defines how the parents will share and be responsible for the daily tasks associated with the upbringing of the child, the time-sharing schedule arrangements that specify the time the child will spend with each parent, and which parent is responsible for health care and school related matters. Time-Sharing is Florida’s term for visitation schedule.

* Mediation

Mediation is the most common alternative way to resolve your case without having to take it to court. Mediation provides an opportunity to negotiate and settle the important issues in your divorce without having to put your case in the fate of the Judge. Mediation’s benefits include less cost, less time, and less stress in resolving your pending divorce matter, so you can move on with your life more quickly. Make every effort to avoid taking your case to court.
