Misdemeanor and Felony Charges

Representation for clients facing misdemeanor or felony charges in Florida. Our North Miami criminal justice attorney handles a wide range of state-level offenses, from DUI and theft to serious felonies like assault or drug trafficking.

Facing criminal charges in state court can feel overwhelming regardless of classification. Even misdemeanors can carry jail time, fines, probation, and permanent criminal records, while felonies raise the stakes dramatically. At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, PA, we provide robust defense strategies customized to each charge and individual. Whether your case involves a first-time misdemeanor or a complex felony offense, our experienced team is with you every step of the way—from arraignment through trial, plea negotiations, and sentencing.

Categories of State-Level Charges

Florida law divides crimes into misdemeanors and felonies:

• Simple Misdemeanors (Class C/B): Low-level offenses like minor drug possession, trespassing, or disorderly conduct.
• Gross Misdemeanors (Class A): More serious infractions including DUI with minors, domestic battery, or weapon violations.
• Felony Offenses: Major crimes such as burglary, aggravated assault, robbery, and significant drug charges.

Each classification carries different penalties and procedural rights. We tailor defense tactics accordingly—pursuing dismissals, probation, or acquittals based on case specifics.

How We Defend Misdemeanor Charges

In lower-level cases like petty theft or simple drug possession, we aim to resolve issues swiftly and cleanly. Our approach includes:

• Challenging the legality of searches and seizures
• Negotiating for conditional dismissal or civil citation
• Enrolling eligible clients in pre-trial intervention or diversion programs

Our goal is to preserve your record and avoid incarceration, using legal tools that help you move forward without criminal consequences.

Fighting Gross Misdemeanors

Class A misdemeanors can result in jail time and long-term repercussions. We prepare detailed defenses involving:

• Suppressing evidence obtained through improper traffic stops or arrests
• Advocating for community service or anger management as alternatives
• Pursuing negotiations to reduce charges where possible

Our team ensures that each client understands potential outcomes and is empowered through every decision in the legal process.

Felony Defense: Strategic and Experienced Representation

Felony charges are serious and often life-changing. We handle these with intensive legal preparation:

• Immediate pre-trial investigation and expert consultation
• Filing motions to dismiss, suppress evidence, or reduce charges
• Preparing for trial, including jury selection, examination, and cross-examination
• Presenting mitigating circumstances at sentencing—such as rehabilitation or lack of intent

Our objective is clear: to challenge the prosecution at every turn and seek a just outcome for our clients.
