Maitland, Florida

As in many other Orlando-area cities, the majority of crimes that occur in Maitland are related to theft and burglary. While not a particularly large city with just under 16,000 residents, crimes do still occur, including auto thefts, robberies, assault, and other offenses. Whether you have been accused of a sex crime, shoplifting, driving under the influence, or a more serious/violent crime, we urge you to contact the Maitland criminal defense lawyers at Adams, Luka, & Benton today at (407) 872-0307 for unsurpassed legal guidance and support.

We understand how frightening it can be to be arrested or charged with a crime, or even to be under investigation. People are often falsely accused of a crime, although we are all human and capable of making a mistake. Unfortunately, those mistakes can cost you your freedom, reputation, and career without the support of an experienced and dedicated criminal defense lawyer. Regardless of whether the offense you have been accused of seems minor, it is vital to obtain effective legal representation.

Our team of criminal defense lawyers brings a combined 30 years of experience to the table for those arrested or charged with a crime. We understand that when facing criminal charges, you have no idea what you may be facing; you probably have many questions regarding your future, the criminal justice process, and more. We are compassionate and dedicated, and will thoroughly review your case to determine how best to proceed. Many people are not aware there are various legal options that may be beneficial in their particular case. We will work to have charges dismissed when possible, and are not afraid to fight aggressively in court in order to obtain positive results.

We have successfully represented clients facing a variety of charges, including:

• Identity theft, armed robbery, auto theft, home invasion, shoplifting, and other theft crimes
• Drug crimes including possession, manufacture, distribution, and cultivation
• Internet sex crimes, child molestation, rape, and other sex offenses
• Juvenile offenses
• Child endangerment, felony DUI, and other drunk driving charges
• Murder, arson, domestic violence, and other violent crimes

We cannot stress enough the importance of contacting a qualified criminal defense attorney when facing criminal charges! Until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, you are innocent.

It is vital to contact a lawyer immediately, so that work can begin on your case. Critical evidence that may be to your advantage could be lost if you wait. In addition, any potential witnesses may have a difficult time remembering the details at a later date, so it is important to begin developing your case while the details are still fresh and clear. A conviction could result in jail time, fines, driver's license suspension, a permanent criminal record, and more, depending on the crime you have been alleged to have committed.

Regardless of whether you have been arrested for something relatively minor such as shoplifting or DUI, or a crime as serious as arson or armed robbery, it is important to take action immediately. We are ready to answer your questions, and guide you through the legal process. Our top priority is protecting your freedom, and preventing a conviction.
