The best of the best

Mr. Canet is a lifesaver & the best attorney I could have ever asked for. The state wanted 8.5 years in prison and would not back down. My first attorney (NOT Canet) told me to take the 8.5 year plea bc my case was a clear win for the state and trial would be suicide. Within a month of hiring Mr Cane...t, he discovered missing evidence, contradicting testimonies AND internal investigation reports discrediting a key witness in my case. Once he started filing motions, he had the state so scared they put their best attorney on my case. At my first hearing, he had the state trembling & had the tenured officer on my case stuttering and fumbling his words. He made both of these experienced professionals look like unqualified rookies. Even the judge called the officers testimony “baffling” & pulled Mr. Canet to the side and said “you are a great attorney Mr. Canet.” He is aggressive and without a doubt the most knowledgeable in any courtroom. He is honest, fierce and a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. Needless to say I am a free man today, Thanks to Mr. Canet. If you want a second chance at life, look no further, just pick up the phone, call him & Mr. Canet will go to war for you.

Carlos is the guy to go to for a D.U.I.

Carlos was recommended by a work friend. We met him and from the start he made sure not to blow smoke up my @**. He told me what the story really was and what actions needed to be taken......he was also half the price of many Miami attorneys. Carlos is the guy to go for a DUI or multiple ones for th...at matter :/ He is a short guy but he walks into court swinging that sword of justice......like for real! Thanks Carlos for keeping me out of jail and slicing thru my probation.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Canet is one of the finest DUI lawyers I have encountered as a criminal attorney here in South Florida. His knowledge of DUI law and DUI trial work is unparalleled. Mr. Canet is also a very creative lawyer and has been recognized for his work in challenging faulty breath test machines. I would feel very comfortable referring him a client or co-counseling a case with him."
