Misdemeanor Offenses

These charges are the lowest level crimes in the State of Florida. However, penalties for misdemeanors can still include up to 364 days in jail, probation, fines, court ordered restitution, drug/ alcohol treatment programs and various other conditions depending on the nature of the misdemeanor charge(s). Judges and prosecutors also can “stack” charges consecutively meaning, if you are charged with five first degree misdemeanor counts you could potentially face a sentence of up to five years in prison.

Although not as consequential as felony convictions, a conviction for a misdemeanor charge may still have a serious impact on your life and liberties, especially if the conviction is for domestic battery. When facing a misdemeanor charge, the assistance of an experienced misdemeanor trial attorney can make all the difference.

Testimonials

“As a family we were going through a lot of pain and heartache due to a legal matter that was beyond our control, Simply put we were in a dark place and once we were introduced to Alex a lot of weight was lifted from our backs. From the initial consultation this counselors brought a lot of light and professionalism to our legal issue and I would proudly and highly recommend this firm to anyone going through any legal challenges that require a hands-on attention and a representation that you can reach even on the weekends and holidays. Truly grateful”

“I requested help from Mr. Alexander Lopez at the beginning of the month of November. I made a lot of bad decisions in my early 20’s which lead my license to be in really bad conditions to the point I tough I was never having a license again. Well I was wrong, thanks to Mr. López and his team by Dec 3rd I had my license. This means a lot to me not only I can drive legal agin but I can keep on moving forward in life and leave my not so good pass in the pass. Thank you so much.”

“My lawyer, Alex was one of the best. He explained everything, in detail, to me as far as the process I’d be going through with this case. He answered all my questions (and I had ALOT). He also thoroughly explained everything in a way to help me understand, since this was my first time hiring a lawyer. He kept me updated throughout this process. I trusted him a lot because he always asked me how I was feeling after my therapy sessions. He cared about my well-being as well as working hard on my case. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family if they ever find themselves in a similar situation. Amazing work Alex! Thank you !”

Brittany S.

“Believe me when I say, I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer through an 11-month court case. After an arrest, I had Lopez & DeFilippo recommended to me. I had the pleasure of working with Alex Lopez for my case. He really took all of my concerns and information seriously, gave me his personal cell phone number (which is not always common for lawyers), and really treated me like a person and not just another case. With this being my only criminal case, he walked me through the process step-by-step and never once made me feel like a burden for asking questions. He even would make the drive from Miami to the Florida Keys just for my case. He was able to get my case dismissed through pretrial intervention. I would absolutely recommend them if you find yourself needing a criminal defense lawyer.”

Rachael G.

Thank you for helping me see this through to a successful end!”
