Criminal Defense in Indian River County.

DUI Defense

Florida treats DUI seriously — mandatory minimums, license suspensions, ignition interlock, insurance consequences. The good news: DUIs are often defensible. The traffic stop, the field sobriety tests, the breath instrument calibration, and the officer's training records are all places real defenses live.

• First, second, and third-offense DUI
• Refusal cases and DHSMV formal review hearings
• Felony DUI (serious bodily injury, prior convictions)
• Underage DUI and CDL drivers

Drug Charges

Possession, sale, trafficking — the same substance can result in vastly different exposure depending on weight, location, and prior record. Suppression motions, lab challenges, and pre-trial diversion are tools we use every week.

• Simple possession (cannabis, cocaine, prescription)
• Sale, delivery, possession with intent
• Trafficking (mandatory minimums on the table)
• Drug court and diversion eligibility

"The first 72 hours after an arrest often shape the entire case. Bond, statements to police, vehicle searches — these are decisions you don't want to make alone." — Ryan Scott DiGiovanni

Felony Defense

Burglary, grand theft, aggravated assault, fraud — felony exposure means prison time, lifetime restrictions, and a record that follows you. Felonies require deep preparation and a willingness to push back when the State overcharges.

• Burglary, robbery, theft
• Aggravated assault and battery
• Fraud, forgery, white-collar matters
• Probation violations

Misdemeanors

A misdemeanor is still a criminal record. Petit theft, disorderly conduct, trespass, simple battery — these matters are often resolved with the right early intervention.

Domestic Violence

Domestic battery cases move fast and carry collateral consequences (injunctions, firearm restrictions, immigration impact). Pre-file intervention with the State Attorney can change everything.

Juvenile Cases

Different court, different rules, different stakes. Juvenile records can be sealed, but only with the right disposition. We focus on outcomes that protect a young person's future.

Sealing & Expungement

If your case ended without a conviction — or if it qualifies for sealing under Florida law — we can clear it from the public record. One eligibility check, one filing, one record cleared.
