Orlando First Time Offense LawyersThe criminal defense team at the TK Law Firm has handled hundreds of cases for first time offenders throughout Central Florida.

Our goal is to protect your future by doing all we can to keep you out of jail and to keep a criminal charge off your record. We effectively negotiate with the prosecution to have first offenses reduced, withdrawn or dismissed.

We understand the worry and uncertainty that individuals charged with a first time offense experience. At the TK Law Firm, we work to alleviate as many of these fears as possible. When you contact our firm, you have the chance to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will work tirelessly to defend you and walk you, step-by-step, through the process.

Early intervention can be critical. Do not hesitate to contact us to evaluate your first time criminal charges and understand what your next step should be: 855-Kramer-Now (855-572-6376). Your initial call is free and completely confidential, and you are under no obligation to hire an attorney.

We Strategically Defend First Time Offense Charges

There are many ways our Orlando defense lawyers can help first time offenders. We will thoroughly examine your case to find the proper strategic options:

  • As with any criminal case, our attorneys will challenge the prosecution’s evidence and examine the legality of the arrest. If police illegally obtained evidence or otherwise violated your constitutional rights, we will fight for the charges to be dismissed,
  • We will challenge whether the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to build a compelling case, whereby a judge or jury will be forced to dismiss the charges or let you off with reduced charges.
  • When plea bargaining is the right option in your case, we minimize potential penalties and resolve first time offense charges quickly through effective plea bargains and negotiations in order to keep criminal charges off your record and to plead less-serious offenses.
  • If you are charged with a first time offense of a third degree felony or a misdemeanor, you may qualify for Florida’s Pretrial Diversion Program. The TK Law Firm will prepare the written application for submission to the State Attorney’s Office, supporting your candidacy for acceptance into the program. Upon acceptance, the judge overseeing your case will formally suspend your case. When you successfully complete the program, your charges will be entirely dismissed.
  • In first time offense charges of non-violent drug crime, you may qualify for Florida’s Drug Court program. Successful completion of drug court results in a withhold of adjudication, meaning you will not be formally convicted and you avoid jail time.

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.

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.

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.
