Criminal Defense Lawyer in St Lucie, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee

Charged with a violent or gun crime in Martin County? Federal and State Courts in Florida have some of the strictest violent crime and gun crime laws in the world. There are minimum mandatory sentences in many instances and they can be lengthy.

With respect to firearms, Florida is famous for it's 10/20/life laws and the federal system is equally notorious for it's section 924(c) laws.

These are just a few of the creative and viable defenses to violent criminal accusations that defense attorney Brian Mallonee brainstorms while preparing and implementing a defense strategy.
