5 WAYS TO HAVE CRIMINAL CHARGES DISMISSED OR GET POSITIVE RESULTS

1. Hire an experienced and expert criminal defense lawyer who has extensive jury trial experience. Jury trial experience lets the state prosecutor know your attorney has the ability to move forward to trial on your case. As a result of the extensive trial experience, the prosecutor may give you a better offer or dismiss the case because they know you are prepared, ready and willing to move forward to trial, if necessary. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, P.A. our attorneys have more than (160) jury trials to date.

2. Hire a criminal defense attorney with Proven Results. Our website dedicates an entire section showing our results to you. Whether you are dealing with criminal drug charges, sexual offenses, battery, theft and fraud charges, violent crimes or federal charges, our office has handled these types of cases and have proven we can get cases dismissed or positive results. Proven Results Review.

3. Hire an attorney who will review your police reports and documents and give you and honest and expert analysis of your case. The police are trained to write reports. Just because they write it in the police report does not automatically make it true. Our attorneys know how the police are trained to write reports and what specific language they use to make a person appear guilty. With this knowledge, we can point out to the State Prosecutor or jury that the police may be overreaching or exaggerating the facts of the case and may not be a credible witness. At Adams, Luka, & Benton we will discuss with you the strengths and weaknesses of your case after we hear your story and review your documents.

4. Hire a defense attorney who will listen to your story. This is important. Every person who is facing a criminal charge needs to explain why they were in a situation that caused criminal charges to be placed against them. When your attorney understands your story he can better prepare your defense. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we believe it is necessary to understand your story to prepare the best defense for you.

5. Hire a criminal attorney who practices criminal law in the county and courthouse where your case is located. The judges and state prosecutors know the attorneys and the attorneys know the judges and state prosecutors in the counties where they practice. This can give you an edge in your case because our attorneys practice throughout the Central Florida counties. Contact Orlando Criminal Attorneys, Adams, Luka, & Benton, Now!

Client Reviews

I would like thank my attorney Thomas Luka. I knew from the beginning I had the right guy in my corner. While celebrating with family and friends at a Public Park in Seminole County, a fight broke out among various people. Myself, and a good friend, broke up the fight and the instigators left. Six months later, I was wrongly accused as the person who started the fight. The first attorney I hired could not even get a response from the State Attorney handling the case. Someone referred me to Tom and I felt comfortable at his demeanor and reactions.

After conversations with Tom, who knew I would settle for nothing less than a FULL DISMISSAL due to my innocence, I hired him. His firm Adams, Luka, & Benton did the due diligence by interviewing witnesses and the police who were on the scene, as well as starting a dialogue with the State Attorney. After gathering statements from witnesses, Tom was able to present a strong argument on my behalf to the State Attorney on why the case should be dismissed. If the State Attorney was not willing to dismiss the case, Tom was ready to take the case to trial.

The result by Thomas Luka: Case Dismissed.

I am 53 years old with a spotless record and glad to keep it that way thanks to the time, effort, hard work, and professionalism of Adams, Luka, & Benton.

Thomas Luka left a life-long great impression of lawyers. He was always professional, on time, and answered things honestly. From the start and during the 14 months it went on - Tom was very upfront and honest with me about the possible outcomes. The result was better than I had hoped for. Tom really over-delivered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Marcela Giorgi
