West Palm Beach Felony Offense Attorneys

Who Can Benefit From a Forceful Defense Against Felony Charges?

Anyone facing felony charges should make putting up a strong defense their top priority. Make no mistake—your future is on the line. A conviction could mean years of jail time, fines potentially amounting to $10,000 or more, and the lifelong impact of having a serious offense on your criminal record.

Every aspect of your life could be impacted by the consequences of the charges against you, and so much of what you’re facing is out of your control now. One critical factor you do have control over is your choice of legal counsel.

BD Law defends clients against felony charges of numerous types, from the least severe to the most serious. It’s crucial that you address your legal issue head-on by retaining a skilled criminal defense attorney to advocate for your interests and build and present the most compelling case possible.

Opportunities for Defense When You’re Facing Felony Charges

Felony offenses often involve additional elements, like your intent or the impact of the violation on others, that misdemeanor charges may not involve. The need to establish all of these elements through evidence may make it more difficult for a prosecutor to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, as they must do to secure a conviction under Florida law. As serious as felony charges are, this requirement also provides opportunities for defense that a skilled legal professional can take advantage of.

At BD Law, we consider your case from all angles and investigate every aspect of the situation to build the most effective defense possible. We painstakingly analyze all of the facts and the elements the prosecution must establish, and we look for weaknesses in the case against you. We review your case for any potential constitutional rights violations, improper handling of evidence, and other procedural errors that could provide an opportunity to get evidence against you suppressed.

By highlighting inaccuracies and inconsistencies, keeping improperly obtained evidence from being introduced in court, and developing arguments that challenge the prosecution’s ability to prove all elements of the charge against you, we put up the strongest possible defense.

Our objective is always to achieve the resolution that most benefits each client we serve. In some instances, the facts of the case are such that we’re able, through skillful defense planning and aggressive advocacy, to get charges dropped completely. The most favorable outcome possible in other cases may be acceptance into a diversion program or the negotiation of an agreement that downgrades the charges and results in lighter sentences. If a trial is needed to give you the best opportunity for defense, we’re prepared to fight to suppress improperly obtained evidence and present the most compelling case possible in court.

Types of Felony Charges BD Law Can Assist You With

At BD Law, we don’t shy away from handling complex legal situations in which there are harsh penalties on the line. We provide comprehensive representation for a range of offenses that carry steep consequences, including:

• Violent felonies, such as murder, kidnapping, assault, and battery
• Nonviolent offenses, such as theft, fraud, and drug trafficking

Not all felony-level charges are equally severe. The penalties you could be facing depend on the nature of the offense as well as the grade of the charge against you. In Florida, felony offenses can be charged in the first, second, or third degree. The most severe violations may constitute life felonies, leading to a lifelong prison sentence, or capital felonies, for which the death penalty may be imposed.

Whatever the stakes involved in your situation, you know your case is in competent hands when you turn to BD Law to prepare your defense against felony charges.
