Fruitland Park, Florida

Although Fruitland Park is a small city with a population of just over 4,000, theft and burglary crimes are fairly common. In fact, the property crime rate for this small city is above the national average, a fact that no city would be proud of. Regardless, if you have been arrested for theft, burglary, or even DUI or shoplifting, it is important to consult with a skilled criminal defense attorney. Depending on the nature of the crime and whether it is particularly serious or violent, you could be facing prison time, fines, a criminal record, and more. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we know that the ramifications of a conviction go much further than criminal penalties, and may include loss of employment, ruin of your reputations or standing in the community, and more. Call us now at (352)-787-2101.

In our practice we have found that innocent individuals do get arrested for crimes they did not commit. In other situations, people find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, and unwittingly become involved in a crime. Juveniles are often influenced by their peers, and commit crimes without considering the consequences. No matter what your circumstances are, chances are you are extremely scared and uncertain of what the future holds. As Fruitland Park criminal defense attorneys with more than 30 years of combined experience, our goal is to help you reach the best possible outcome in your case.

Examples of crimes we have successfully represented clients charged with include, but are not limited to:

• Drug crimes, including possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs, etc., manufacture, and distribution
• Felony drunk driving, child endangerment, and other DUI charges
• Juvenile crimes, including shoplifting, vandalism, underage drinking, assault, and more
• Theft/property crimes including armed robbery, home invasion, identity theft, and auto theft
• Domestic violence, arson, murder, carjacking, and other violent offenses
• Sex offenses including rape, child molestation, and Internet sex crimes

Your situation may seem impossible, however you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, a burden the prosecutor shoulders. We will work vigorously to protect your innocence.

We understand that in the majority of cases, those arrested or charged with a crime are completely unfamiliar with the criminal justice system, and what to expect. We will explain the process, answer your questions, and provide the guidance you need to reach good results. Our job is to review your case to ensure no mistakes were made by police, or your rights violated. We will examine the evidence brought forth against you in an effort to find weaknesses in the state's case against you, and develop a solid defense strategy should your case go to court. Ultimately, we want to avoid charges being filed, or have charges dismissed or reduced. We put forth every effort in order to help you avoid a conviction, and the resulting criminal penalties.
