Escambia County Criminal Lawyer
If you have been arrested or accused of a crime, you may not realize the seriousness of your situation and what rights you have as a criminal defendant. More than anything else, you need information so you can make an intelligent decision.
At The Burns Law Firm in Pensacola, Florida, we offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your case and answer your questions. We represent people charged with both state and federal crimes in Florida and Alabama. The following are examples of the types of cases we handle:
- DUI defense, including criminal charges and civil protection of your driver's license
- Drug charges, including possession and sales of marijuana, cocaine, meth, heroin and other drugs
- Domestic violence, including civil protection orders and criminal charges as well as the defense of false allegations
- Assault and battery, including all degrees of assault and battery, and aggravated battery
- Burglary and theft, including petty theft, grand theft, shoplifting, burglary and other theft crimes
- Probation violation hearings/bond hearings, including dealing with arrest warrants, bail bonds and hearings to stay on probation
- Appeals of criminal cases in both state and federal court
Criminal charges almost always have the ability to negatively affect your life in the future. For example, if you plead guilty to driving on a suspended license charge today, that conviction will result in a permanent criminal record. Five years from now, that conviction could keep you from getting the job that you want.
As your lawyer, James M. Burns will zealously fight for your rights. He has successfully helped thousands of people on the Florida and Alabama Gulf Coasts get their criminal cases dismissed or charges reduced.
