If you have been arrested or charged with a criminal offense, it is important to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Florida law enforcement officials are often trained in interrogation techniques and may try to elicit incriminating information. As such, invoke your constitutional right to remain silent and do not speak to the police without a lawyer present. Attorney Charlie Mead has been practicing law for over 15 years. He passionately defends individuals and protects their constitutional rights. For effective defense representation, contact Florida DUI lawyer or criminal defense attorney Charlie Mead for a free initial consultation.
His criminal defense firm focuses on defending misdemeanor and felony charges in the following areas:
A defendant is placed on probation in lieu of jail or prison time; accordingly, probation is often the result of a favorable plea agreement. If, however, at a later date, it is alleged that an individual has willfully and materially violated any one of the terms and conditions of their plea agreement, a violation of probation hearing will be held. At this hearing, if it is found that an individual has willfully and materially violated any one of the terms and conditions of his or her plea agreement, a judge can then sentence the individual to any lawful sentence for the crime to which the individual originally plead guilty to be placed on probation. Additionally, at the violation of probation hearing, hearsay evidence is admissible and there is a lower standard of proof placed on the State. As your attorney, Charlie Mead will aggressively defend your rights at your violation of probation hearing.
On a related note, if you have been arrested for or charged with a crime, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to plead no contest or guilty without first speaking with a lawyer. Whether the alleged violation is for misdemeanors ranging from street racing, reckless driving, driving under the influence, petty theft, shoplifting, domestic violence, simple battery, drug possession, disorderly conduct or for felonies ranging from grand theft, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, burglary, robbery, drug charges, weapon charges or other serious offenses you deserve qualified representation that will protect and inform you of your rights.
