"Jeremy and I worked on opposite sides of the courtroom many times while he was a prosecutor in Fort Pierce. He is a tenacious advocate who sees the merits of a case exactly as they are. He was a top-flight prosecutor, and has made the adjustment to top-flight defense attorney. Some ex-prosecutors just don't have the heart for defense work, because they think that everyone's guilty or that everyone who breaks the law is a scumbag. Jeremy's not like that at all. He understands that the police are quite often incompetent, or worse yet--flat out liars. He's willing to cross-examine a police officer or an alleged victim with one goal in mind--to shred them apart and win the case on behalf of his clients. If I were in trouble with the law in east central florida, Jeremy Buckmaster is the only guy I'd call."
