I know what you're going through because I've been there.... You probably already know that when you're going through a criminal action, it's like watching the foundation of your life crumble.  This is a tough situation for you. You feel overwhelmed with emotions -- one minute you feel terrified, anxious, stressed... and the next minute you feel emotionally paralyzed, in a state of quiet desperation and fear. You're struggling to keep things under control and it can be the most challenging time of your life --. You want someone to give you hope... you want someone confident, experienced and assertive to fight hard for you and to tell you that everything is going to be alright.. I know and I understand how you feel because I've been there... when I was in college a close family member was charged with Federal Mail and Wire Fraud. He was convicted and sent to Allenwood Federal Prison for 3 years. It was a difficult time for our family. It was during that time that I found my passion for Criminal Defense. We were not happy with his lawyers or the way they handled his case; they lacked confidence, they didn't fight hard for him, they were not aggressive in court, they seemed afraid to challenge the prosecutor, they did not try to negotiate any favorable deals and... they had no empathy for their clients. They couldn't understand how difficult it is to be in a position where you are right now; accused of comitting a crime, afraid, facing an uncertain future, worried you may go to jail... even if you are innocent!. I made the decision to become a Criminal Defense Attorney so that I could fight for people like you who are accused of committing criminal offenses, providing you with the best possible representation and aggressively fighting to get you the results you want -- helping you get through the difficult times so you can focus on the rest of your life and the positive aspects of your life.. In addition to Criminal Defense my passion is Martial Arts... I'm a fighter!. What sets me apart from many other criminal defense attorneys is the fact that I am a Black Belt in two schools of Martial Arts; Kung Fu and Muay Thai Kickboxing. I'm a fighter!. In 2001, I was awarded a dual Black Belt in Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung Fu and in Muay Thai Kickboxing. Earning my Black Belt required a combination of grit and toughness, focus and determination, hard work, sweat equity and perseverance. I endured hundreds of hours of training and countless bumps and bruises; over the course of my training I faced many challenges, I fought hard and I never gave up.. My Martial Arts training has made me patient, laser-focused, tough and disciplined. My training gives me a distinct advantage over my opponents in the courtroom. I have an abundance of confidence, I am always prepared, I never quit and I won't settle for a bad deal. Every time I step into a courtroom I become energized. I love what I do and I am very good at what I do. I am an experienced and aggressive Criminal Defense Attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, New York and New Jersey for over 31 years.. My practice focuses on Drunk Driving and DUI Defense; BUI Defense (Boating Under the Influence); Criminal Defense and Criminal Appeals.. I represent clients who are charged with DUI and related criminal DUI offenses such as: DUI w/Damage to Property; DUI w/Serious Bodily Injury; 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th DUI and Habitual Offender; extremely high BAC (0.16, 0.20, 0.24, even 0.30!); DUI with Child in car; Driving While License Suspended (DWLS); Leaving Scene of Accident; DUID (Drugs); Underage (under 21) DUI; Refusal to Submit to Breath or Sobriety Tests; Felony DUI; Federal DUI; DUI for CDL holders; Violation of Probation hearings; DHSMV Administrative hearings; DUI Manslaughter; Hit and Run. An ice cold beer on a hot afternoon on the water can be a beautiful thing! But if you’re the owner or operator of that boat and you’ve been drinking, you may be wishing that you thought twice before starting up your engines…. I also represent boaters in BUI cases (Boating Under the Influence); U.S. Coast Guard hearings; The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) hearings; Refusing to submit to breath, blood or urine test; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th offense; Leaving the Scene of an Accident; BUI under 21; BUI Manslaughter 2nd Degree and 1st Degree; Accident causing Serious Bodily Injury; Failure to Give Information and Render Aid; Battery on Law Enforcement Officers; Causing an Accident; Leaving the Scene of an Accident;. In addition to successfully handling DUI and BUI cases, my Criminal Defense practice includes. It is my belief that a person should not be judged by their worst act and that even the best of us can make poor choices or have a lapse in judgment. My practice is based on the belief that you were arrested when you shouldn’t have been.. I know that calling a lawyer when you are facing criminal charges is one of the hardest things you've ever had to do. But I also know that hiring a confident, skilled and aggressive criminal defense attorney gives you the best chance of fighting and beating the charges against you!. Don't let procrastination, hesitation or fear stop you from fighting back! Call today to schedule a complimentary strategy session (954) 981-0336 and reclaim your life! Let's see if I can give you some hope, we'll review your case and lets see what I can do to make things better!.
