Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Florida

Words honestly can't describe the immense gratitude my family and I have for Attorney Andrew Darling and his law firm. Facing 10 years on two felony charges and I was adjudacted not guilty on both. Attorney Darling worked tirelessly when seeking discovery and his legal accumen gave me the reassurance... I was in good hands. He is compassionate and gives you a no nonsense approach when communicating your legal options. Although, some things didn't work in my favor in the legal process. It was Attorney Darling who was there for both my family and I every step of the way. Whether it was picking up my phone calls in jail, throughout my case, and even during the aftermath Attorney Darling went beyond the typical standard of legal representation. He doesn't just care about you as a client, but he genuinely is passionate about justice, your family and how the legal system treats our community. Today, I am a better man and an active father in my son's life because Attorney Darling fought for us. So if you need help there is no doubt in my mind he will fight for you too.

Best lawyer!

I am beyond happy with my results in my case. May of 2021 I was arrested for trafficking of fentynol. I hired a lawyer for my case and I wasn't happy with her work. Literally one week before my court date..I went online and found Andrew! We did our quick consultation over the phone and met in pe...rson the next morning. Five days later Andrew and I went to court and he was able to get the case continued!!! That was our last continence.. I was stuck with accepting the plea deal or going to trial. I was so confident in Andrew..I decided to go to trial instead of taking the plea! He made me feel confident! He is very courteous, skilled, and a down to earth lawyer. Last night he called me to tell me that my case was dismissed!! Words can't explain the feeling I felt. I felt hopeless and defeated before I hired Andrew! We didn't even have to go to trial! He saved my life! My future was in his hands! I will FOREVER be grateful for Andrew! I highly recommend him to any client! You are in good hands with him!

I can honestly say Andrew has been a miracle and a blessing to my boyfriend and his livelihood. My boyfriend was arrested and had no bond due to him already being on probation. His rights were violated and he was arrested for having my house key which I had a pepper spray for protection. He was pulle...d over in a Uber for suspicion of him looking like a robbery suspect. Once the officer checked him and verified he was not the perpetrator they continued to search him. Because he had my house key in his possession and being on probation he was charged with a concealed weapon. He was violated and had no bond. We contacted Andrew and he began working immediately. Within 2 weeks the charges were dropped and a couple days later his probation was reinstated and released. He also has children and a job. So with me explaining the importance of my boyfriend livelihood to not loose his Job to provide for his family. Andrew took our situation seriously and used his amazing skills and got him out which we are right back on track. Andrew gave us justice and I can honestly say if your in need of a lawyer that’s going to fight for you and put your needs first hire Andrew Darling he is a blessing to many in need. Thank you once again for your hard work and the Man you are. You represent the legal justice system for the good of humanity and I am Thankful. Blessings to you and your firm.

I'll never hire another attorney other than Andrew Darling!

Andrew John Darling is the only lawyer, firm I am comfortable with having as my legal representation, exclusively. If you are facing a tricky case that calls for attention to detail, delivering optimum results, and a native to Florida legislation- consult and hire Andrew Darling! He was availabl...e at any moment or time of the day to answer questions and hear my concerns. Not once, did my case feel like it was out of my hands or out of touch with Andrew representing me. Having needed to hire a defense attorney at many times and levels in my life. While also witnessing friends and family use top-rated or ”high profile” legal representation with an outcome that always felt against our wishes or ”the only option”. Because that never felt good enough to me, I knew someone else had to be out there. Attorney Andrew Darling is the difference I was looking for. I'll never hire another attorney other than him again. I strongly believe in getting representation rather than trusting the system. Andrew took my wants and needs to a new level of trust. He respected my wishes and delivered on some complicated asks. I've never experienced this type of ease when dealing with the law. Providing me with all the communication to confirm and find the best options available to me. I felt that my needs were attainable within the a system that has always let me down. Andrew is the only reason for that. Being knowledgeable about what we could do without making my wishes a compromise was everything to me. I hired Andrew Darling most recently with a civil rights case. Being someone who knows the police and powers that be don't turn to justice, I felt confident my legal needs were being met with Andrew and his experience. The ease of knowing my case would be handled in a timely and favorable manner makes this a very personal referral. Accessible and understanding of the costs tied to legal representation, I feel like it was worth every penny. If you want someone who makes your freedom and case a top priority, this is the only representation you need! When they are on the offense you need an even stronger defense! Andrew is someone who shows you how to navigate through a broken system and know your rights. Sometimes it is also about who you know, Mr. Darling knows who to call and that's huge as well. Serving as your attorney isn't just some job or check for him, it's seeking justice for you and those who matter most in your life.

From impossible to Attainable

My license had been revoked for driving on a suspended license in several counties for over 10 years. I owed a lot of money to Brevard, Seminole, and Orange county. Even if all was paid, I STILL wouldn't be able to get a regular license. I'd have to get a hardship and an SR22 insurance. Everytime I t...hought I was taking a step in the right direction, something else on my driving record popped up which seemed to make getting my license back almost impossible. One day I was scrolling on Facebook and saw a post from Andrew Darling about providing his service to people whose license is suspended. I reached out to him via phone call, told him my situation. He told me to get a copy of my driving record from the DMV and we'll meet up to go over it. That call was the best decision I ever made in my life. Later that same week, we met up, he laid out a plan for me discussed a fee and he hit the ground running. Court cases were tossed out, court fines were lowered, driving offenses were removed from my record... Andrew was literally raining blessings on me like Curry rains 3pt shots. After over 10yrs I finally have my license back. My LICENSE. Not a hardship. My LICENSE yall. I've never smiled so hard for any picture I've taken in my life but that day I went to the DMV to reinstate it I was cheesing from ear to ear. No SR22 required! I'm not looking in my rearview mirror every 30 seconds to make sure a cop hasn't jumped behind me anymore! Andrew took what seemed impossible and made it attainable, achieveable and now, my REALITY! He gave me my freedom back. Now when anybody asks me if I know a lawyer, I don't hesitate to give them Andrew's information. He truly is a miracle worker and I am eternally grateful for him.
