If you’ve been charged with a crime in Volusia County, you’ll soon realize that the court system is complex and often frightening, especially if you don’t have the competent representation and guidance of a top criminal defense lawyer.

Here are a few things you should consider:
The advantage of choosing a small firm with a talented criminal attorney can’t be overstated. The persistent dedication and personal attention Attorney Smith offers her clients makes all the difference in the courtroom.
Attorney Smith is a former prosecutor in the state of Florida and as such has a solid understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of criminal law proceedings. Her broad knowledge base, prior experience, and fierce talent for analyzing cases effectively and efficiently will help you facilitate an appropriate defense, without instilling you with unrealistic expectations.
The success Attorney Smith has both in and out of the courtroom is the result of relentless research, hard work, creativity—and the genuine respect and understanding she has for each of her clients. Attorney Smith knows that, “Everybody has a story, everybody has a reason for the things that they do. Each individual person has their own facts, circumstances and history that come to bear upon how they get into the criminal justice system.” And the best asset of her criminal defense strategy is the way she is able to convey that to the prosecutor and judge as she advocates for her clients.
DUI Charges – A DUI Conviction can result in you losing your driver’s license from 6 months to the rest of your life and it can result in jail time or heavy fines. If you have been arrested for DUI it is important to retain an experienced DUI Attorney that will give you the best opportunity to get through the process without jail time and with as minimal impact on your driving privileges as possible.
Drug Charges – The State of Florida assigns a schedule to each different class of drug you may have been charged with possession of. Those classifications are Schedules 1 – Schedule 5 and each of the five drug schedules is based on the potential for abuse, with Schedule 1 having the most potential for abuse.
