Legal Processes

Probation Violation:

A violation of probation occurs when an individual, under a probationary sentence, willfully and substantially fails to adhere to the specified terms and conditions mandated by the overseeing judge.

Seal or Expunge Your Criminal Records

In Florida, expungement and sealing are legal processes designed to limit public access to criminal records. Expungement erases the record as if the arrest or charge never happened, while sealing restricts public access without completely erasing the record. Expungement is for cases with dropped charges, and sealing is for those who completed certain programs or received withhold of adjudication. Both processes provide individuals with the opportunity for a fresh start, reducing the impact of a criminal record on employment and other opportunities.

HIGHLIGHTED CASES

Navigating Past Pleas in a Complex Legal Scenario

Hung jury in a case where the client had previously pled guilty in federal court to the exact same gun and drug charges. The state introduced the federal plea agreement, signed by the client, along with the federal transcript of his admission of guilt and a signed admission by the client.

Successful Acquittal Against All Odds

Not Guilty verdict in an attempted murder case, where the client’s landlord accused him of shooting when he pulled into the driveway of his property. The client was arrested on the same day at the scene. The jury took only 25 minutes to deliberate before acquitting him.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“Pat was able to obtain a bond on a VOP — extremely rare and highly unusual — and so instead of sitting in jail for 6 weeks I was in only 2 weeks (including extradition from North Florida to Broward), and within 4 days of leaving jail he got the prosecutor to drop the VOP plus remove electronic monitoring after 13 years. I WAS ECSTATIC! Well worth the cost!! | HIGHLY recommend Pat Wilson if you’re facing any difficult criminal charge, VOP, or VOCC.
