We Defend all tourist, vacation and out of town arrests
Every year, millions of tourists visit Orlando and the Central Florida area. Whether visiting one of our many theme parks, beaches, or other attractions, Orlando has much to offer. Unfortunately, good intentioned fun can turn to disaster if you or a loved one is arrested and charged with a criminal offense.
A criminal charge will always complicate your life but picking up a criminal charge in another State while you are on vacation only makes matters worse. You will need to find a way to post bail and potentially plan on numerous return trips to make court appearances.
COMMON charges for out of state visitors
The laws in Florida can vary widely from laws in different states and countries. Because of this, tourist can sometimes commit crimes without even realizing it or may do something out of the ordinary that gets them into trouble because of the “vacation” mindset. Regardless of your charges, facing a judge, possible court dates, and future legal proceedings can prove difficult if you are not a Florida resident.
Some of the more common crimes committed by visitors include:
Do I Need to Come Back to Florida?
One of the first questions I hear from clients I represent from outside the State of Florida is whether they will have to return to defend the claim against them. My goal is to resolve your case without you ever having to return to Florida. Very often, we are able to handle your case without you ever having to step foot inside an Orange County or Seminole County courtroom.
How I can resolve your case
There are many different possible outcomes in a case depending on the charge and facts of your case. Three of the ways I can resolve your case without you having to return to Florida are:
Charges Dismissed — The best case scenario in a case is to get charges dismissed. I can negotiate with your prosecutor to not file formal charges against you.
Pretrial Diversion (PTD)— Pretrial Diversion is a voluntary program that allows first-time, non-violent offenders to have criminal charges dropped. This program is offered by the State Attorneys Office and requires prior approval.
Plea in Absentia — I may be able to negotiate a plea and enter it in court without you ever having to return to Central Florida
