Free Consultation
$0 first 60 minutes
I am a lifelong resident of Gainesville and I have practiced exclusively criminal defense since I left the State Attorney's Office in 2001. I am a former prosecutor and past president of the Florida Association of Crime Defense Lawyers. The experience I gained on "the other side" of criminal law gives me a considerable advantage now as a defense attorney. When handling a case, I always ask myself, "If I were the prosecutor, could I convict this person? Would I want to convict them?" If I know how I would successfully prosecute a case, I can recognize the area(s) of weakness to build my defense around."
I have represented hundreds of people over the years and I love what I do. Getting my clients the best result possible for their case is my #1 goal and that's exactly what I fight for every day. If you're facing charges, do not hesitate to contact me for help. During a free initial consultation we can discuss your charges & the best method of addressing them.

Miles Kinsell is a great criminal attorney.
My husband got in criminal trouble for something his work alleged that he did. We called Miles Kinsell because several people said he was the "best criminal attorney in town."
