    Questions We Often Hear from Miami Clients

    • What should I do right after an arrest in Miami, Florida?

      First, stay calm and remember your right to remain silent — this means everything you say can impact your case. Don't try to explain your side to the police or discuss anything without your attorney present. Call us immediately at (561) 659-8337, any time, day or night. We'll guide you through the process and start protecting your rights right away.

    • Will my case go to trial in Miami?

      Not every case goes to trial — many are resolved through negotiation or dismissal. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This thorough approach often leads to better outcomes, whether through plea negotiations or in the courtroom.

    • How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense attorney in Miami?

      We discuss fees during your free consultation, and we're always upfront about costs. Every case is different, but we work to find solutions that fit your situation. Don't let financial concerns stop you from getting the defense you need — call us to discuss your options.

    • Can the police search my phone or computer if I’ve been accused of a crime?

      The police need a warrant to search your digital devices, with few exceptions. If law enforcement accessed your devices without proper authorization, we may be able to suppress that evidence. Never consent to a search without speaking to your attorney first.

    • What's the difference between state and federal charges?

      State charges are handled in Miami state courts and typically involve local crimes like DUI or theft, with more flexible sentencing options. Federal charges are prosecuted in Downtown Miami's federal courthouse for more serious crimes like drug trafficking or fraud schemes, carrying stricter sentences and involving longer investigations. We defend cases in both systems and know how to navigate their crucial differences.
