I was a police officer before I was a lawyer. I was a the Gainesvile Police Department. I was there for over 6 years. I was also the first Legal Advisor for that department.

There I handled thousands of cases and did over 100 trials, from DUI to murder.. I left the PD Office in 1984 and co-foubnded the law firm of Butcher, Benetiz & Uhrig, doing criminal defense. In the years that followed i was associated with two other criminal defense law firms before founding The Defense Group. While with the firm of Cotter, Uhrig & Valerino, I was privileged to handle the first four DNA evidence trials in US history and appeared on The Today Show to discuss the case.. I've taught in several regional police academies. I've taught constitutional and criminal law at Columbia College and in the Rollins Masters level Criminal Justice Programs.. I spent two years as a legal analyst for FOX 35 News in the Ornaldo area. Following involvement in some high profile cases, I had the opportunity to appear on many major YV news shows in New York including Oprah, Sean Hannity, Charlie Rose, Scott Pelly, Ashleigh Benefield, Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan and others..

People facing criminal charges need more than just a person to appear for them in court and take whatever the prosecutor gives them as a plea deal. They need an attorney not only with skill and experience, but the tenacity to fight for justice and their rights. The life altering consequences of a conviction demand it.. My name is Rose Feller and Feller Law, P.A., is a practice based upon those ideals. My mission is to work under the presumption of innocence, to aggressively protect your rights, and to facilitate a just resolution to your legal situation.. A native Floridian, I have spent the past 15 years of my life dedicated to defending people who face the uncertainty and fear that criminal charges bring. From misdemeanors to felonies that carry a life sentence, I’ve worked every type of case. My extensive experience includes defending those accused of sex crimes, attempted murder, armed robbery, white collar crime… down to Driving while License Suspended and simple battery.. I graduated from St. Thomas University College of Law in 2000 and immediately began putting my passion for the law and people’s rights into practice. Through the years I’ve been able successfully defended serious accusations of Armed Robbery, Armed Trafficking of Marijuana, Trafficking in Controlled Substances, Kidnapping, Sexual Battery, Juvenile Sexual Misconduct, Attempted Murder on a Law Enforcement Officer, Fleeing and Eluding, and many more throughout the State of Florida. All of these cases resulted in either no jail time or greatly reduced sentences from what the prosecutor was offering.. Through the years, I’ve continued to refine my approach to criminal defense. Feller Law is not a one-woman show, but employs a team of individuals who contribute their specialized skills and experience. Uncommon to most law firms, I utilize an experienced legal researcher to thoroughly investigate and explore potential defenses, no matter how arcane or unusual. Dedicated support staff provide prompt and informative communications for clients. And I bring my wealth of courtroom experience and tough negotiating to the table.
