Legal help across DeSoto County
I represent people throughout DeSoto County, including Arcadia and the surrounding communities. Criminal and DUI cases here run through the Twelfth Judicial Circuit at the DeSoto County Courthouse in Arcadia, and knowing the local courts, the prosecutors, and the way local insurers evaluate injury claims is part of how I build a case. I am not a referral service, and from the first call through trial you work with me, not a case manager.
On the injury side, US-17 and State Road 70 are the main corridors through DeSoto, two-lane highways that carry fast-moving cars mixed with farm equipment and trucks, so rural crashes tend to happen at higher speeds and farther from major trauma care. DeSoto Memorial Hospital in Arcadia provides emergency care, and the most serious trauma is often transferred to Sarasota or Tampa. I represent injured people, not insurance companies, and I build the case the way it has to be built to move an adjuster toward fair value.
On the criminal side, I defend DUI, drug, traffic, violent, and other charges in the DeSoto courts. As an ACS-CHAL forensic lawyer-scientist and a former public defender, I work the breath and blood science and the courtroom the way these cases demand.
