Compassionate Guidance and Aggressive Representation
Criminal convictions always have serious consequences. Even misdemeanors can carry heavy fines and other repercussions. No matter what crime you have been accused of, it is important to aggressively protect your rights.
Our legal team at the Stephens Law Firm, P.A. has extensive experience helping clients fight criminal charges in Florida. Whether you are a Destin resident or visiting the area from out of town, we will explain your rights and help you protect them. As a smaller firm, we take a hands on approach to criminal defense and work weekends.
Fighting Felony and Misdemeanor Charges
When you are involved in a misdemeanor or a felony case in Florida's Panhandle, our attorneys and legal staff will guide you through the criminal defense process. We have decades of combined experience protecting our clients against charges such as:
- Traffic violations: You should never simply accept speeding tickets or other traffic offense charges. We will help you fight the ticket to avoid skyrocketing insurance costs, high fines and drivers' license suspension.
- Drunk driving (DUI): We will protect your rights in the criminal court case and in the DMV administrative drivers' license suspension hearings.
- Drug charges: We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest for drug possession, trafficking or manufacturing and work to have the evidence against you dismissed.
- Property crimes: Theft and other property crimes may seem like minor charges, but they can have serious consequences. We will protect your rights in negotiation with the district attorney and in the courtroom when necessary.
- Sex offenses: If you are facing rape, molestation or other sex crimes charges, your future is in jeopardy. We will work hard to protect you from the sex offender registries and minimize the consequences of the charges against you.
At Stephens Law Firm, P.A., what sets us apart is our commitment to quality client service. Our criminal defense lawyer understands how much stress criminal charges cause for the person facing accusations and for their family.
