Jordan Holmes Law, P.A. provides criminal defense representation, and criminal appeals and post-conviction work, throughout Florida.
1. What types of criminal defense cases do you handle in Florida?
We handle a wide range of Florida criminal defense cases, including homicide, drug trafficking, violent crimes, theft and fraud offenses, DUI, weapons charges, domestic violence, and other felony or misdemeanor charges. Our attorneys have handled charges from traffic tickets to First Degree Murder (with a Firearm).
2. How much does a criminal defense attorney cost in Florida?
For criminal defense matters, fees depend on the complexity and seriousness of the charges. We will typically review your initial police report, discuss the case and your expectations with you, and be able to provide a price during your consultation. We provide transparent pricing and discuss legal fees during your initial consultation. Typically, at least half of the payment is required upfront. However, flexible payment plans are available for the remainder of the balance.
3. What payment methods do you accept for Florida criminal defense cases?
At Jordan Holmes Law, P.A., we accept payment in nearly every form possible. We accept cash, credit card, debit card, cashier's checks, Zelle, and CashApp. Additionally, you can send the money in separate transactions if you need to split the payments between family members.
4. What happens during a free consultation with a Florida criminal defense attorney?
During your consultation, we review the facts of your case, explain your legal options, and discuss possible strategies. For criminal cases, we evaluate the charges, evidence, and procedural posture.
Consultations are confidential and designed to give you clarity about your next steps.
5. Will I have to go to court in my criminal case?
In criminal cases, court appearances depend on the nature of the charges and procedural requirements set by each Judge and each Judicial Circuit. When possible, we will waive our client's appearances from Court if they wish. We work to resolve cases efficiently where appropriate, but we are prepared to litigate and go to trial when necessary.
6. Can you guarantee a specific result in my case?
No attorney can guarantee a specific outcome. Every case depends on its facts, the applicable law, and how courts interpret the evidence. Our commitment is to provide strategic, diligent representation tailored to your circumstances.
