* Murder Defense

We have experience handling cases involving murder and homicide charges. We have the experience, the attitude, and the knowledge to handle the complex details of crimes involving the death penalty and severe sentencing guidelines. Fighting a murder charge, or an indictment on any degree of homicide, requires an in-depth understanding of local court procedures and how the district judges have interpreted case law and made decisions about relevant cases. It is critically important that your attorney understands how sentencing guidelines affect the case at every step of the process. Often a successful defense relies on fighting for the maximum procedural advantages.

Let us get you the legal protections you need.

Our defense attorneys bring a proven record against a wide range of drug offenses and a winning attitude to every case from misdemeanor possession to felony trafficking. We are aggressive in defending your case and review all evidence, police procedure, witness testimony and the strength of the case against you for any weakness, any flaw and any opportunity to win.

It can impact your relationship with friends, family, employers and neighbors, and the sooner you can retain a lawyer to minimize the damage, the more options our attorneys will have to get a positive outcome.

We work with both juvenile and adult clients, providing strong, experienced and respected representation for those who need it most. We understand how to pursue these cases, and we can put the right resources behind your defense.

* Weapons Offenses

- Foreclosure Defense

In many instances, there are several steps you can take to avoid mortgage foreclosure, including:

• Mortgage modification: Our lawyers can work with your lender or lenders to determine if they will modify your mortgage in any way so you can stay in your house. Sometimes this will involve deferring payments while you can save money, and sometimes this means changing the terms of your mortgage to make your mortgage payments more affordable.
• Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure: Some mortgage lenders will allow you to give the deed to the house back to them, which would allow them to sell the home and recoup any losses. This option does not allow you to keep your home, but it does allow you to avoid all of the negative consequences that are tied to mortgage foreclosure.

At Ferrer Shane, PL, we understand how to approach a mortgage lender to provide you with a comprehensive mortgage foreclosure defense. We will discuss with you all options that are available to you. Regardless of how this process works for you, you can rest assured that it will buy you time to make appropriate arrangements for your future.

- Bankruptcy

At Ferrer Shane, PL, our attorneys help clients with Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings. People can be assured that they will receive knowledgeable counsel when they choose our firm for legal representation in bankruptcy matters.

- Lottery Disputes

Our attorneys offer a strong defense in lottery disputes. We represent clients who were ripped off in lottery pools involving:

• Spouses and lottery disputes: When you get married, you expect your spouse to be honest and generous. Unfortunately, that is not always what happens. If your spouse won the lottery and is refusing to share the winnings, you may have legal rights to a portion of the money.
• Workplace lottery pools: When the jackpot lotto is high, many employees work together to create large workplace lottery pools to increase their odds of winning. If the ticket holder in your pool is refusing to cut everyone their fair share, it is important to speak to a lawyer to protect your rights and money.
• Lottery game disputes: In Florida, there are five types of lottery games that have payoffs more than $50,000. An experienced lawyer can protect your rights if you were ripped off in a ticket holder in Power Ball, Lotto, Mega Money, Fantasy Five or Scratch-Off Games.
