Experienced Attention to Your Unique Legal Concerns
A criminal conviction can have a damaging, long-term impact on your future. A conviction can limit your employment options, affect your ability to rent an apartment, and put a strain on your relationships. If you have been charged with a crime, you need a lawyer who can help combat the charges against you, one who understands how to help limit the harm your conviction can cause to you and your future.
I am attorney Paul Militello. I possess more than 15 years of legal experience and offer criminal defense representation to clients in Inverness, Florida, and surrounding areas. My work as a former prosecutor, and now an Inverness criminal defense lawyer, has given me insight into both sides of the criminal process. This in turn allows me to know every possible penalty you face, available defense options and what you can expect from the proceedings before you. Contact me to discuss how I can help defend you against your criminal charge.
My Criminal Defense Practice
I defend clients facing a number of both misdemeanor and felony charges including:
- DUI and Traffic Offenses: My DUI and traffic offense representation is designed to help you protect your driving privileges, your wallet and even your freedom from harm caused by first offenses and repeat citations. Throughout your proceedings, I work to offer the advice you need to understand your options to address your citations in the most effective manner possible.
- Drug Offenses: From simple possession to more serious distribution and trafficking charges, my drug crimes defense is designed to help limit or eliminate the penalties that stem from a conviction. By carefully examining the events leading to and following your arrest, I strive to gather information that can be used against the prosecution to drop or reduce your charges or find alternative sentencing avenues.
- Domestic Battery: Florida domestic battery guidelines take a strict stance on violence among family members and spouses. This strict stance, combined with the implementation of restraining orders following your arrest, lead to the need for aggressive defense during your proceedings. I work to help you avoid domestic abuse convictions and the social stigma relating to them.
- Sealing Criminal Records: I provide detailed guidance throughout the process of sealing existing criminal records in an effort to help you move forward with a clean and clear record.
My Bankruptcy Practice
I also handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings in the Middle District. Find out how bankruptcy can help you stop creditor harassment or stop home foreclosure by discussing your bankruptcy concerns with me.
Other legal issues I assist clients with include those related to shoplifting, juvenile offenses, violations of probation and estate planning.
