Criminal Defense 35%

When comes to misdemeanors, most people are concerned about their driver's license, money, deportation, and securing employment. Who can blame them? As long as these things do not affect them, clients usually want to settle (plea bargain) and get on with their lives. Some clients feel wronged and they get a trial if they want one, and I'm not going to talk them out of it. I don't promise the world, but I'm "in your corner." blog.mrmisdemeanor.com

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 35%

Most cases settle without a hitch. The truth is Judges would much rather hear from attorneys and give them the benefit of the doubt much more than non-attorneys. Judges know that attorneys have more to lose--their license. The non-attoney does not have that risk and judges know they may be tempted to lie. Honestly if it's your word versus the police officer, they will go with the police officer 90% of the time. The client really does have a much better chance with a attorney.

Foreclosure 20%

I encourage everyone to fight their foreclosure. Whether you hire someone; find a pro bono (free) attorney; or do it yourself. Defense attorneys are sharing SO MUCH defense information with each other that even attorneys new to this area can put up a big fight. Even attorneys who have been practicing for years are learning new information everyday. Please fight.

Domestic Violence 10%

Domestic violence accusations are much like criminal charges and must be taken seriously because Florida takes them seriously. Often, domestic violence charges are warranted, but just as often, the are not. Many people use domestic violence charges harass someone or tarnish their reputation when there really was not domestic violence. It is a hybrid of family and criminal law.

Great warm comucation and good results

Roy has spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me for a simple traffic case trying to get all the information to narrow down angles of defense. I believe Roy is one of the best attorneys i ran into on a whim and dealt with over the phone!!!

Best Attorney I've worked with

Royce was by far the best attorney I've had the pleasure of hiring. He is very knowledgable and took the time to hear my case. I had a speeding ticket and a driving without a license charge, which was criminal. When he showed up to court, ALL of my tickets were dismissed!!! I have never been so ple...ased with an attorney! His rate was great and I would most definitely hire him again!

Posted by danielle s | January 5, 2012
