Practice Areas
Aggressive representation in every courtroom
From first-time offenders to multi-count federal indictments, from target letters to first-degree murder, we defend clients at every level of Florida’s federal and state court system.
White Collar & Federal Defense
Federal investigations move fast. If you’ve received a target letter or grand jury subpoena, retaining an experienced lawyer immediately can change the outcome of your case.
Criminal Defense
From misdemeanors to serious felonies, we defend clients throughout Florida’s state courts with a proven track record of dismissals, acquittals, and reduced sentences.
Family Law
Contested divorces and high-conflict custody battles require a litigator’s mindset. Brian’s trial experience gives our family law clients a decisive edge most family attorneys simply don’t have.
“We do not operate a conveyor belt. Your case is handled personally — from day one through final resolution.”
Under Federal Investigation?
Time is critical.
Don’t wait to be charged.
