Lakeland Criminal Defense FAQ

Do I Need a Lakeland Criminal Defense Lawyer if I’m Innocent?

Even if you are innocent, navigating the criminal justice system in Lakeland requires a skilled lawyer. An attorney  understands the intricacies of Florida law and can protect your rights throughout the process. They will thoroughly investigate the charges, challenge the evidence against you, and present a compelling defense to ensure your innocence is recognized and your reputation remains intact.

Why Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer if I’m Guilty?

Hiring a lawyer is crucial if you believe you are guilty. A Lakeland criminal defense attorney can significantly impact your case by negotiating with the prosecution for reduced charges or lesser penalties. They can explore potential mitigating factors and alternative sentencing options, such as probation, diversion programs, or treatment, to minimize the impact on your future. A lawyer is your best advocate for achieving the most favorable outcome possible, even when facing guilt.

What Should I Do if I’m Arrested?

If arrested in Lakeland, it’s vital to remain calm and exercise your rights. Politely but firmly state that you wish to remain silent and request to speak with an attorney immediately. Do not answer any questions or sign any documents without legal counsel present. Remember, anything you say can be used against you. Contact a trusted Lakeland criminal defense lawyer or have a loved one do so on your behalf.

Can I negotiate a plea deal or settlement in my criminal case in Florida?

Yes, plea deals are a common practice in Florida’s criminal justice system. Your lawyer can engage in negotiations with the prosecutor to reach a plea agreement. This often involves pleading guilty to a lesser charge or receiving a reduced sentence in exchange for your plea. Your attorney will advise you on the best course of action based on the specifics of your case and ensure your rights are protected throughout the negotiation process.

Are there any alternatives to incarceration for first-time offenders in Florida?

Fortunately, Florida offers various alternatives to incarceration for eligible first-time offenders. These may include probation, community service, restitution, fines, diversion programs, and drug court. Your Lakeland criminal defense attorney can explore these options based on the nature of your offense and your individual circumstances. They will advocate for the most appropriate alternative to help you avoid jail time and get a second chance.

Should I cooperate with law enforcement or exercise my right to remain silent?

While it may seem helpful to cooperate, it’s generally in your best interest to exercise your right to remain silent and consult with a lawyer before speaking to law enforcement. Even seemingly innocent statements can be misconstrued or used against you. An experienced Lakeland criminal defense attorney can advise you on how to interact with law enforcement and protect your rights throughout the legal process

One Of Just Four Forensic Lawyer-Scientists in Florida

Science plays a huge role in 21st century criminal cases, especially drug and DUI charges. The police use it to investigate crimes, the prosecution uses it to try to get convictions – and a lot of it is outdated or even debunked. The way to counter those tactics is to get a DUI defense attorney who understands the real science behind these charges.

Tom Grajek is one of just four Florida attorneys to be recognized as an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist by the American Chemical Society. This requires training in forensic chromatography – ethanol-based analysis used in DUI cases – as well as drug analysis, drug pharmacology, and data interpretation. In other words, he knows how to expose non-validated science that police and prosecutors try to use to convict people of crimes, and how to use legitimate, valid science for the benefit of justice. If you need a DUI or drug crime defense attorney, my training as a Lawyer-Scientist will give your case an edge.
