Could You be Charged with Racketeering in Orlando?It is extremely difficult to determine who is at fault in a racketeering case, basically due to the fact there are often countless people involved. Arson, dealing in illegal drugs, financial crimes such as money laundering, murder or other crimes often involve many parties who orchestrate the offense, so it is hard to know whether you may be criminally charged as the role you play and whether you were aware of the full extent of the crime can make a difference. Some individuals are completely unaware of their involvement in racketeering until the point they are potentially facing criminal charges.

The primary goal is to ensure all who they believe are involved are held accountable and punished to the highest possible extent allowed by the law. It is imperative to work with a capable Orlando criminal defense lawyer when facing these serious charges, as you could potentially face decades in prison if convicted.

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.
