Criminal Defense 

Fighting for Clients In DeLand, Daytona Beach, VOLUSIA COUNTY & Throughout Central Florida

Your Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney

Since taking the Oath of Admission to the Florida Bar ten years ago, I have practiced criminal law in Volusia County. My job for nearly six years was serving as a prosecutor for the State Attorney's Office in DeLand, Florida. As a former prosecutor, I tried homicides, sexual assaults, driving under the influence cases, white-collar crimes, grand theft, elder abuse, assault and battery, and narcotics cases. Now that I represent the accused, I take my knowledge and skills as a former prosecutor and use it to defend my clients in Volusia County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Flagler County.

Since leaving the State Attorney's Office, I have learned the importance of personal attention for those facing criminal charges. Your future is in jeopardy; you may not understand the legal system, and you may not know what to tell your own family. I have designed my firm to provide you with the personal attention necessary to explain these issues to you as you deal with the criminal justice system. When you call Thompson Law, you speak to me. When you sit down for your free consultation at Thompson Law, you sit with me.

As an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Volusia County, I leverage my prosecutorial background to build strong defenses. Understanding both sides of the legal dynamics allows me to anticipate the prosecution's strategies and craft effective counterarguments. This dual perspective is invaluable, ensuring that my clients receive not only robust defense but also insightful legal guidance tailored to the nuances of their cases.

Understanding Florida's Criminal Laws

Florida's criminal laws can be complex, and they vary significantly from those in other states. For individuals charged with a crime in Volusia County, understanding these laws is crucial. Florida utilizes a unique point system for sentencing, which assigns points based on the severity of the offense. Accumulating too many points can result in harsher penalties, making it essential to have a defense attorney who can skillfully navigate and potentially reduce these charges.

Besides the point system, Florida's legal framework is distinct in its handling of certain crimes like drug offenses, theft, and domestic violence. The state enforces strict drug trafficking laws and mandatory minimum sentences for specific offenses. Understanding the nuances of these statutes can significantly impact the outcomes of a criminal trial.
