When you’re facing criminal charges, your future, reputation, and freedom are on the line. At Roussos Law Group, we provide experienced and strategic defense for individuals accused of crimes throughout Florida.
Our criminal defense team understands how prosecutors build their cases and how to challenge them effectively. We use that insight to identify weaknesses in the evidence, protect your constitutional rights, and ensure your side of the story is heard.
Our attorneys handle a broad range of criminal cases. Whether you are under investigation, recently arrested, or already charged, you can count on our firm for clear guidance and skilled representation.
Below are the types of cases we commonly handle:
Criminal cases move quickly, and early decisions can have lasting consequences. Working with an attorney who understands both sides of the courtroom can make a difference in how your case proceeds.
Our firm emphasizes preparation, communication, and discretion. We evaluate every angle of your case, from the legality of the stop or arrest to the credibility of witnesses and the chain of evidence, to develop the strongest possible defense within the law.
As a U.S. citizen, you have constitutional rights that protect you during encounters with police officers or investigators. Knowing and exercising these rights can safeguard you from self-incrimination and help your attorney defend your case later.
Exercising these rights—especially the right to remain silent—helps prevent misunderstandings or inadvertent statements that can complicate your defense.
You are only required to provide your name, address, and date of birth. You are not obligated to answer questions about where you were going or what you were doing.
If asked to allow a search of your person, vehicle, or property, you have the right to politely refuse. While officers may still proceed, your refusal preserves your legal protections for later court review.
If you are arrested or questioned, immediately request an attorney. Do not make statements or sign documents until your lawyer is present.
Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, but your actions after arrest are critical. Here’s how to protect yourself:
Remaining calm and exercising your right to silence demonstrates responsibility and helps your attorney protect you more effectively. Every statement you make—no matter how casual—can be used against you later, so it’s best to let your lawyer handle all communications.
At Roussos Law Group, we approach every criminal defense case with three guiding principles:
We thoroughly review discovery materials, evidence, and procedures to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
We keep our clients informed at every stage, ensuring they understand the process and their options.
Every case is unique. We tailor defense plans to the facts, evidence, and goals of each client.
Our attorneys handle negotiations, motions, and trials with professionalism and diligence. While outcomes can never be guaranteed, we are committed to protecting our clients’ constitutional rights and securing the best possible resolution permitted under Florida law.
Whether you are facing your first misdemeanor or a serious felony charge, early legal intervention can make a meaningful difference. The sooner you involve a defense attorney, the more opportunities exist to protect your rights, preserve evidence, and influence the course of your case.
At Roussos Law Group, we are ready to guide you through the process with discretion, respect, and determination.
