Why Work with a Criminal Defense Attorney in Tampa?

If you’ve received a traffic ticket, your first instinct may be to pay the fine and move on. If you’ve gotten a DUI, you may just want to put it behind you. If you’ve been charged with a serious crime, you may think you should opt for a public defender and save a few bucks.

We’re here to tell you that working with a top-rated criminal and traffic attorney in Tampa can save you tons of grief and stress.

Take, for instance, a simple speeding ticket. Did you consider that paying the fine means you’re pleading guilty? And did you know that your auto insurance costs could increase for years as a result?

What about criminal charges? Working with a public defender can leave you in hot water because these attorneys are often loaded down with other cases. They can’t always give yours the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, the result can be a criminal conviction that sticks with you for life.

At Hersem Law, we’ll fight hard for you and do everything we can to protect your freedom and wellbeing.

How We Can Help You

If you’re going to work with an experienced Tampa criminal defense attorney at Hersem Law, we know you’re going to want to know exactly how we’re going to help you. There’s a lot riding on this, and you want to make sure you’re putting your case in good hands.

We provide comprehensive legal representation to our clients. Every case type will require a different approach, but many of the basics are the same. During your free strategy session, we’ll go over the basics of your case and get your side of the story. From there, we’ll plan your next steps.

Whether you’re dealing with a DUI charge or a personal injury lawsuit, it will be your attorney’s job to gather evidence. For instance, if you’ve been charged with drunk driving, we may start by examining the breath test the police officer used. It’s possible that the test was inaccurate. Similarly, we may examine the police radar if you’ve gotten a speeding ticket.

The bottom line is that we’ll be here for you from the moment you request a free consultation with a criminal defense attorney to the moment your case is resolved. For more information on specific case types, see below.

DUI

In Florida, the penalties for drunk driving are severe. At a minimum, you’ll face hundreds of dollars in fines. At worst, you could go to jail or prison for DUI-related charges. That’s not to mention the fact that a DUI could leave you without a drivers license and with limited job prospects.

CRIMINAL TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

Criminal traffic violations go far beyond DUIs. You could face criminal penalties for many other types of traffic violations, including reckless driving, being a habitual traffic offender, leaving the scene of a serious accident, and driving without a license, among others.

It’s critical that you understand that criminal traffic offenses in Tampa are not the same as simple speeding tickets. These are offenses that could leave you struggling to pay steep fines, unable to legally drive, or in jail.

Fortunately, your Tampa criminal traffic defense lawyer at Hersem Law is ready to help you identify a winning defense strategy to beat your charges. No matter how hopeless the situation seems now, we can help.

DRUG CHARGES

Drug charges are some of the most common criminal violations we see in Tampa. From marijuana possession to methamphetamine manufacturing, all drug charges are serious, and a conviction can have severe, long-term impacts on your life.

That’s why it’s so important to call a defense attorney in Tampa as soon as possible after you’ve been charged with a drug offense. When we get your call, we’ll immediately get to work and start looking for ways to poke holes in the prosecution’s case against you.

Being charged with a drug-related crime in Tampa can leave you feeling like there’s no hope, but this is not the time to give up—it’s the time to call a lawyer. We’ll work tirelessly to get your drug charges reduced or dropped.

TRAFFIC TICKETS

Seeing those blue lights in your rearview mirror is never a good feeling. Your immediate fear of getting a traffic ticket may be followed by financial anxiety and worry that you’re going to lose your drivers license. Unfortunately, those are very real possibilities.

We almost always advise against paying the fines for a moving violation without fighting the ticket first. That’s because paying the fine is an admission of guilt, and you can’t really go back from that.

However, a traffic ticket attorney at our Tampa criminal law firm can help you fight your ticket in traffic court. Using the evidence and our years of legal experience, we’ll build a strong defense for you.

Tampa Criminal Defense Frequently Asked Questions

[fc id=’1′ type=’popup’ button_color=’#4488ee’ font_color=’white’][/fc]

Should I fight a misdemeanor charge in Tampa?

A lot of people think misdemeanor charges are not all that serious, but that’s not true. Misdemeanor convictions taint your criminal record and show up on background checks. They can also make future charges more serious and result in jail time. A defense attorney in Tampa can help you fight your misdemeanor charge.

Will I lose my drivers license if I get a traffic ticket?

Losing your license is a possibility if you get enough traffic and speeding tickets in a certain amount of time. Twelve points on your driving record in twelve months will result in a license suspension of thirty days, for example. These time frames can go longer, and points can add up quickly if you receive multiple citations in one traffic stop. A qualified lawyer can help you keep your drivers license.

Do you only take clients from Tampa?

The team at Hersem Law serves the whole Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. We assist clients with a wide variety of legal matters, including traffic tickets, DUIs, and criminal defense. We also handle personal injury cases.

Should I speak to the police after I’m arrested?

In almost every case, it’s best to ask for a Tampa defense lawyer before you speak to the police. That’s because your attorney can make sure you don’t accidentally say something that could incriminate you and protect you from police interrogation tactics designed to make you slip up or say something that could make you situation a whole lot worse.

Do I have to pay for a consultation with a Tampa criminal defense attorney?

Not if you schedule a strategy session with Hersem Law. Our initial consultations are completely free. It’s time to take charge of your situation and do what you have to do to beat the charges you’re facing. Reach out to a Tampa criminal defense lawyer at our firm today.
