Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Williams & Wiseman, P.A. is a law firm composed of two skilled, experienced trial attorneys in Orlando, Florida. Attorney Travis Williams is a former Florida prosecutor who decided he wanted to work for the people, not the government. Knowing how prosecutors prepare and file criminal cases helps Mr. Williams create effective defenses for people charged with crimes ranging from drunk driving, drug offenses, to theft and fraud. Every criminal defense case that Williams & Wiseman, P.A. accepts is personally handled by Mr. Williams or Mr. Wiseman from the initial hearing to the final resolution.

Attorney Simon Wiseman also started out as a Florida prosecutor. He then went into civil law as an insurance defense lawyer with a prestigious Orlando law firm. As a young lawyer, Mr. Wiseman gained an insider's perspective working for insurance companies defending the rights of their insureds in personal injury law suits of all types. Today, he has switched sides and now uses that experience to protect the rights of people injured in car, motorcycle, pedestrian and truck accidents, slip and fall, dog bite, defective packaging and product, and nursing home neglect and abuse cases.

- Criminal Defense

Drunk Driving / DUI/DWI
There are two ways a Florida prosecutor can prove that you were drinking and driving. The prosecutor can show that your blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, or the prosecutor can show that you were impaired by another substance (including illegal or prescription drugs).

Drug Offenses
Being accused of a drug offense is a serious matter. The penalties can include fines, an automatic two-year driver's license suspension or even a prison sentence. A drug conviction can affect the well-being of you and your family. If you have been charged with a state or federal drug offense, including drug trafficking/delivery, our criminal defense lawyers will aggressively fight to protect your interests.

Federal and White Collar Crime / Fraud
Federal and white collar crimes are some of the most serious criminal matters that a person can face. A conviction of mortgage fraud, Theft by Embezzlement, public corruption, or forgery can seriously affect your freedom, employment status and reputation.

Juvenile Crime
Having a child charged with a juvenile crime can be extremely stressful. What types of penalties will he or she face? What does such a charge mean for his or her future? At the law office of Williams & Wiseman, P.A., we understand how important it is to resolve these matters and protect your child.

Assault and Battery
Assault and battery cases range from bar fights and confrontations to domestic violence to assault and battery with a deadly weapon. If you have been charged with any of these crimes, an experienced criminal defense lawyer may be able to help you with your legal matter.

Expungement and Sealing of Records
Unfortunately, even minor criminal offenses can affect you well into the future. The criminal justice system remembers your offenses long after you have forgotten. Our lawyers understand that people make mistakes. We also understand that some mistakes should not haunt you for the rest of your life. It may be possible to expunge or seal your criminal record.

Theft / Burglary
Have you been arrested for burglary or theft? Theft and property crimes can have damaging effects on your life. These crimes tend to greatly impact future employment, business and educational opportunities. Let Williams & Wiseman, P.A. help you with your theft or burglary case.

Violation of Probation
Probation violations have very serious consequences in Florida. If you are convicted of a probation violation, the judge can sentence you to the maximum penalty for the crime you are on probation for. For example, if you are on probation for a third degree felony with a maximum penalty of five years in prison, the judge can sentence you to five years in prison.

Tourist Crimes
Many of our clients want to go home as soon as possible. Our first goal in any case involving a tourist is to insure you can go home legally and then begin to aggressively defend the case. Attorney Simon Wiseman, is a native of England, is very familiar with helping tourists, including English and European tourists and English or European citizens who reside in Florida.

- Personal Injury

Nursing Home Neglect
Representing people who have been injured or died as a result of neglect or abuse in nursing homes or assisted living facilities is a passion of the attorneys at Williams & Wiseman, P.A. in Orlando, Florida. Before he became a personal injury attorney, attorney Simon Wiseman worked for a prominent Orlando law firm which represented a number of large nursing home chains. His understanding of the industry has been the foundation of our successful representation of nursing home residents who have either been injured or died at the hands of negligent or abusive nursing homes or assisted living facilities.

Truck Accidents
Truck accidents require careful and detailed investigation in order to uncover negligence, such as drug use or past citations, against the truck driver or the driver's employer. Attorney Simon Wiseman has in-depth knowledge of the extensive regulations that govern truck drivers and trucking companies. If our investigators can find deliberate violations of safety regulations, we can seek punitive damages against the trucking company.

Car, Motorcycle and Pedestrian Accidents
At the Orlando law firm of Williams & Wiseman, P.A., attorney Simon Wiseman handles all types of auto, motorcycle and pedestrian accident cases, from neck and back injuries that can affect you for a few months to catastrophic injuries and death that can change your life forever.

Premises Liability
The law firm of Williams & Wiseman, P.A. in Orlando, Florida, handles cases where someone has been injured or died as a result of a premise owners negligence. These premise liability cases include slip and fall accidents, rapes and assaults on hotel and apartment complexes caused by negligent security, hotel negligence, and store injuries caused by falling merchandise or careless store employees.

Dog Bites and Attacks
In Florida, a dog's owner is strictly liable for injuries caused by his or her animal for a dog bite, mauling or other attack. This means that your lawyer does not have to prove that the dog's owner was negligent in not properly restraining the animal. Generally, as long as you did nothing to provoke the dog, the owner of the dog is responsible for your damages. Often time there is insurance to cover these types of claims that the attorneys at Williams & Wiseman, P.A. will discover.

Defective Packaging and Products
An increasing number of consumer injuries are caused not by the product but by the packaging. Few manufacturers think about the safety of consumers when they design rigid PVC packaging that is almost impossible for customers to open. Instead, they only seem to be concerned about making packages that look nice and are theft and damage-proof.

Tourist Accidents
If you are injured or have had a loved one who has died in Florida as a result of someone else's negligence, you will need a Florida lawyer to defend your rights and prosecute your claim. Why not have a Florida lawyer who is from England and was once himself a tourist? Attorney Simon Wiseman, an English citizen who grew up in England until the age of 18, has represented tourists in a variety of legal matters, whether a car accident in a rental car, an injury at a theme park, or a serious or even fatal injury on a roller coaster or water slide. Every state's laws and courts are different, and your lawyer must be licensed by the Florida bar to represent you in a Florida court. We often work with attorneys in other states to represent their clients who are injured in Florida.
