But a conviction for DUI could be catastrophic, so it is critical to fight against drunk driving charges aggressively.

It is important to make sure your son or daughter does not jeopardize their future. Working with a trusted attorney can help your child avoid prison time, fines and loss of education.

- Possession
- Possession with intent

As a skilled, experienced attorney and former prosecutor, Rashad Green knows how to uncover mistakes made by the police, and he knows how to argue his clients’ cases before judges and juries.

Your Criminal Defense Questions, Answered
Below, we’ve provided answers to some of the most common questions we receive from prospective clients. After reading, we invite you to contact us for advice and guidance regarding your own case.
Will I serve mandatory jail time if convicted?
In the vast majority of cases, the answer is no – especially for a first offense. Florida does impose some mandatory minimum sentences for crimes of violence involving the possession/use of firearms, but for most crimes, sentencing is left to a judge’s discretion.
Can an attorney completely get me off the hook?
No attorney can promise results, and you shouldn’t trust any attorney who guarantees a specific outcome. Additionally, each case is unique, and the possibility of acquittal depends heavily on the evidence and other facts of the case.
That being said, a competent criminal defense attorney can almost always help you mitigate the consequences you are facing, and they will be able to help you understand all of your legal options.
I know I’m innocent. Why should I hire a lawyer?
Knowing you are innocent and proving your innocence are two very different things. As we discuss on our misdemeanor offenses page, trying to explain your way out of criminal charges can be disastrous. There are many examples of people – including celebrities – being convicted because of what they said to law enforcement while trying to “clear things up.”
How will a conviction on my record impact my future?
Unfortunately, a criminal conviction usually has consequences that linger beyond whatever sentence you receive. A conviction on your record can make it much more difficult to get hired for a desirable job, get approved for housing, get access to credit or pursue higher education. For these reasons and more, it is critical to fight to keep your record clean with the help of an experienced attorney like Rashad Green.
