Facing Florida Criminal Charges? Key Facts You Need to Know

Back To Criminal Defense Video Help Page

Back To Criminal Defense Video Help Page

The above video mentions five things that everyone should know when facing Florida criminal charges, but that list is just a sample of a few of the most important issues. With years of defending cases, our Orlando defense lawyers have encountered many more issues that an individual facing criminal charges needs to be aware of. Below are some matters that may arise you might not expect.

Situations with Florida Criminal Charges You May Encounter

Police officers are allowed to lie to you. You may have seen TV shows where the police detectives lie to suspects and “trick” them into confessing. Unfortunately that is not just TV drama, and it can happen with Florida criminal charges. It is legal during an interrogation for law enforcement to tell you that they have evidence when they do not, or even that your lie detector test shows “deception” when in reality you passed with flying colors. Unless a police officer shows you proof, chances are they are trying to scare or manipulate you into a confession. Even innocent people have been badgered into doing this. It is highly effective for police to lie during interrogations. If you find yourself being questioned in this manner by the police, call the defense lawyers at TK Law at your first opportunity.

Let your lawyer do their job. It can be tough to sit back when you are facing serious Orlando criminal charges, especially if you feel like your defense lawyer is not defending you in the way that you think is best. Remember that you chose your attorney because you trusted their experience and their skills. For example, your defense attorney at TK Law knows the law, knows the idiosyncrasies of the individual judicial district in which you have been charged, and knows the tendencies of individual judges and prosecutors. Second-guessing your attorney during the case takes valuable prep time away from them and can hurt your chances at winning. Every good lawyer wants to win – trust in that.

Demanding trial because of a bad plea offer can be a mistake. Sometimes in a criminal law case the prosecution will offer a plea deal that is so bad that the defendant is offended by it and demands to go to trial. Before you do this, take a step back and let your lawyer work. It could be that they are negotiating and hammering out a deal and part of that is starting out with what appears to be a bad deal for you. Or, it could be that the evidence they have makes them confident in winning. “Plea bargain vs. trial” is a key decision that is ultimately yours, and a skilled trial attorney knows when an offer is fair and when you can win at trial.

Your Lawyer is there to Protect Your Rights in Orlando Criminal Charges

What it comes down to is that defending a criminal case is something that is as much of an art as it is a science. You not only want someone who is well-educated in the law helping you, but also a person with experience and an understanding of the way things work in your jurisdiction. An experienced local lawyer will know the judges and the District Attorney, and will have a better perception of what you can expect.

My wife and I finally took the steps to start the estate planning process as we are not getting any younger and we didn't want to leave a mess for our daughter to have to clean up. We have witnessed this far too many times of the last few years, as relatives have passed away only to watch the circus play out afterward. TK Law provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone at the office that I had the pleasure of working with was extremely professional and got back to me in a timely manner with any questions that I had. My wife and I really appreciate all the hard work and are very thankful to get all our estate planning needs met. We now have the peace of mind that we have done all that we can to minimize any issues after we pass.

On August 7, 2020, I was fortunate TK Law Firm was suggested as the first option for Divorce and Family Law. I was blessed to be represented by Ms. Janelise Gastell and TK Law Firm Support Staff. Ms. Gastell has the qualities and standards of integrity, ethics and loyalty. Ms. Gastell's dedication and determination resulted in positive results. Ms. Gastell challenged me to put in the same amount of effort. The end result was the divorce being finalized on September 4, 2020. Four years later, the money spent was an outstanding investment. The financial investment was an integral part of moving forward in my life. This included my well being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If potential clients are searching for excellent Divorce and Family legal representation. My recommendation would be Attorney Janelise Gastell. Thank You.

The divorce process is never easy, but everyone one at TK Law made it as easy as possible. Kayla Johnson, my paralegal was always available, helpful and understanding of the situation. Attorney Janelise Gastell was also extremely helpful. She made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. My divorce seemed to take much longer than the average due to the other side, but both Ms Johnson and Attorney Gastell kept things moving as quickly as possible.
