Criminal Defense in Orlando

Criminal defense is a complicated area of the law. If you are arrested for a crime—be it a misdemeanor, felony, or a DUI— you need a skilled criminal defense attorney in Orlando to defend you and protect your rights.

While you are entitled to represent yourself in a criminal action, the odds are against a favorable disposition of your case. Retaining a qualified Orlando criminal defense lawyer is your highest priority. With 40 years combined experience and the convenience of local offices, Carsten & Ladan, P.A. can represent your interests from arrest to resolution.

Orlando criminal defense lawyers

One of the most important aspects of criminal defense in Orlando is detailed attention to the components of a criminal defense matter. A good Orlando criminal defense attorney can address your concerns, reflect on the trajectory of your case, and negotiate with court officials—all at the same time. Assistance to you may take the form of these services:

  • Accompanying you at arrest
  • Managing bail
  • Providing skilled representation in and out of court
  • Discussing your concerns, providing education on criminal process
  • Providing honest assessment of the facts of your case

While grounds for arrest are categorized, the details of every arrest are different. Criminal defense lawyers in Orlando use experience with the law and knowledge of the court system to determine possible defenses, for example:

  • Proving you did not commit the crime
  • Pressing presumption of innocence until proven guilty
  • Self-defense
  • Impaired judgment / mitigating circumstances
  • Justification for commission of illegal act

Orlando criminal defense attorneys also work within the criminal system by:

  • Discussing facts and plea bargains with officers of the court
  • Creating solutions to meet the needs of clients and the government

Your need for a criminal defense lawyer in Orlando begins before you are charged. If you believe you are going to be arrested, contact Carsten & Ladan, P.A. In addition to coordinating your arrest, involvement of a lawyer from the beginning may provide an opportunity for reduction of charges before they are authorized. If you have already been arrested, having representation at your arraignment can set a course for smoother resolution of your case, or provide a less complicated path toward trial.
