We Believe In...

 

STAYING LOCAL. We have focused on defending the citizens of Miami-DadeCounty for our entire careers as trial lawyers. We believe in focusing specifically on DUI cases in Miami-DadeCounty, rather than spreading our efforts throughout multiple courthouses all over Florida. We have found this practice leads to better results and higher satisfaction for our clients. We have appeared in front of every DUI Judge in the Criminal Courthouse on numerous occasions.


GIVING BACK. We handle many cases "pro-bono". We believe in giving back to the community we live in, and in keeping ourselves grounded in the tradition of the Office of the Public Defender where we both started our careers.


LA GENTE HISPANOHABLANTE. We are both fully bilingual. We have found our ability to speak Spanish allows us to relate to the jury and stay in closer contact with many of our clients and their families. We have found this practice leads to better results and higher satisfaction for our clients.

 

PERSONAL SERVICE. All of our clients have direct cellular phone access to us at all times, as should be the case when someone is facing serious criminal charges, like a DUI. Our firm is not a crowded factory, and we do not take on hundreds of cases at a time. Rather, we are selective in who we choose to defend, which allows us to spend more time focusing on our individual clients. We have found this practice leads to better results and higher satisfaction for our clients.

We defend DUI cases in MIAMI-DADECOUNTY. We do not handle cases in other counties, but rather focus all our time and energy on the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY DUI courts.

 

Your situation is not unique. We have defended thousands of clients in the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Criminal Courts for DUI. Many times, the police wrongly accuse our clients, and act aggressively during their arrest. As your attorneys, we will protect and guide you through the legal process, as you are presumed 100% innocent.

 

For years we worked as Assistant Public Defenders in MIAMI-DADECOUNTY, earning courtroom experience and learning how the system works. As your attorneys, we will protect your rights, and help advise you of possible immigration or job-related consequences. We will also keep you out of the courtroom as much as possible, saving you precious time and money.

 

As you may notice, most law firms handle DUI cases all over South Florida and the State of Florida. We handle DUI cases ONLY in MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. We are in the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Courthouse everyday, defending DUI cases. We focus only on MIAMI-DADE COUNTY DUIS.

 

We have two MIAMI-DADECOUNTY offices: Downtown Miami, and Homestead. We would like the opportunity to meet with you at your home or either of our office locations.
