As a Florida Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, that means I am an expert in my field — a distinction that is earned and awarded to a very small percentage of all Florida lawyers. I have represented thousands of clients, earning the reputation as an aggressive trial attorney with a heavy pretrial motion practice. With over 16 years of courtroom experience, I have handled all types of cases, ranging from varying misdemeanors to first degree premeditated murder.
Why should you hire DeGraff Hicks Law Group? Because I have the experience, the knowledge, the expertise, and the resources to help. When you are charged with a crime in Florida, you deserve aggressive, reliable representation to defend you in court. Whether you’re charged with a misdemeanor, driving offense, drug possession, drug trafficking, a sexual offense, DUI, or any degree of homicide, DeGraff Law can help.
