Because of its complexity, no one should ever attempt to navigate the criminal justice system on your own. Police and prosecutors have zeroed in on you as a target, and they are relentless in their pursuit of a conviction. Under the law, you have legal rights; those rights must be protected. When police make mistakes such as performing an illegal search or violate your legal rights, it may work to your advantage. As seasoned Coleman criminal defense lawyers, we are highly familiar with the criminal justice process, prosecutors, and judges. We know how they work, however we also know what it takes in order for a defendant to be proven guilty.

The sooner we can begin work to investigate on our own and develop a plan, the better the outcome will be. The early stages of a case are the most critical; this is when evidence is gathered, witnesses interviewed, and more. It may be possible to avoid charges altogether if you contact us early enough. Regardless of the stage of your case, we urge you to contact Adams, Luka, & Benton now for a free consultation at (352)793-2100 or (352) 787-2101.
