Contact VIZA Law immediately to get a free consultation regarding the various offense levels, potential mandatory minimum sentences prescribed under the law for certain drug offenses, as well as constitutional rights that may have been violated during your criminal investigation which could result in with the suppression of evidence, reduction of charges, or the complete dismissal of your case.

Violent Crimes

If you or a loved one was arrested for a violent crime, it is extremely important that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Violent crimes can range from capital murder offenses to simple battery offenses. You are entitled to both state and constitutional rights, which you may not even be aware the moment you or your loved one come under investigation by law enforcement. It’s important that you are informed of your rights, especially if you or a loved one is charged with a violent offense. As with any offense, but particularly with violent crimes, obtaining a bond may become difficult. Depending upon you or your loved one’s criminal history, your ability to receive a bond may be hindered for various reasons.

VIZA Law can help you at the earliest stages of a criminal case, beginning with obtaining a bond to get out of jail if you or your loved is being held without bond and helping you continue with your life during the pendency of your case. Here at VIZA Law, we want to serve you so that you obtain the best result possible, no matter what type of violent offense you or a loved one is charged with.

Driving Under the Influence

DUI charges are one of the most hotly litigated criminal offenses in not only the State of Florida, but all over the country. This is because there are many factors, including standards that law enforcement must follow before you can be pulled over, as well as your rights during an investigation for driving under the influence. VIZA Law can help you understand and navigate the legal process and attack the prosecution’s case against you, beginning with the traffic stop all the way to being requested to submit to a breath, urine, or blood test to determine your alcohol content.

DUI charges and convictions can have lifelong offenses. DUI convictions can stay on your Florida Driving Record for nearly a lifetime. It’s important that you understand your rights. Here at VIZA Law, we can help you understand what Field Sobriety Exercises are, and how to attack their use and validity. We can also help you understand the effects in criminal court if you or a loved one provided a breath sample, or the effects when a breath sample was not provided.

Everything about a DUI cannot be explained on one web page. Call VIZA Law now so that you can talk immediately with an attorney who can answer all your questions and set you on the path to the best result possible under the law.

Theft & Fraud

Theft and fraud convictions can have dire effects on your life. Getting or maintaining a job may become difficult if you are arrested for a theft or fraud offense. VIZA Law can help you make sure that none of your rights were violated during the theft or fraud investigation of your case. In some cases, if law enforcement violated your rights, the court may be required to suppress illegally obtained evidence against you. Know your rights. Let VIZA Law help you defend against the prosecution.

Sex Crimes

Sex crimes can land you or your loved one in prison for a lifetime or land you on the sex offender registry.
