The best time to contact a qualified Haines City criminal defense attorney is before you are charged with a crime, as it may be possible to prevent filing of charges. However, when you have been charged with theft, arson, a drug or sex crime, or even DUI, it is vital to have a capable defense lawyer in your corner. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we know how police and prosecutors operate. Police often act as though they are your friend and are trying to help, but are actually using tactics to get you to incriminate yourself. You have legal rights, and police often violate those rights. Prosecutors are vigorous in their efforts to convict you of a crime, even when the evidence is weak. Our firm will mount an aggressive defense strategy, investigate the charges against you, explore potential weaknesses in the prosecutor's case, call in expert witnesses when necessary, and do everything possible to protect your freedom and future.

Not only may you face criminal penalties including jail time, fines, probation, and more if convicted of a crime, your career and reputation are also at stake. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, our top priority is obtaining positive results for our clients, no matter how serious the situation may seem. Call us today for a free consultation at (407) 872-0307.
