Criminal Defense
I spent three years in the public defender's office before starting my own law practice. During that time, I handled hundreds of cases ranging from misdemeanors to first-degree felonies. I know the courts, the judges and the law, and I am not afraid to fight for my clients charged with a wide range of criminal offenses:
- Drug Crimes
- Drug possession
- Drug sale, manufacture and delivery
- Drug trafficking / minimum mandatory sentences
- DUI and Traffic Offenses
- DUI
- DUI penalties
- Traffic tickets and criminal traffic offenses
- Violent Crimes
- Firearms offenses and violent crimes/weapons defense
- Sex crimes
- Domestic Violence
- Obtaining a restraining order
- Defending against a restraining order
- Domestic battery
- Other Offenses / Related Issues
- Theft offenses
- Probation issues
- Juvenile law
- Record sealing and expungements
Domestic battery
Domestic battery can be charged as anything from simple battery to felony battery, and may be enhanced into Domestic Violence court.
Concealed Firearms
Carrying a firearm without a permit is a crime in Florida. If you are facing a weapons charge of any type, know that the potential consequences in Florida can be severe and that it is important to immediately contact experienced attorney Gustavo E. Frances.
Family Law
At The Law Office of Gustavo E. Frances, P.A., I handle a wide range of legal matters related to divorce. I understand that divorce can be a stressful and emotional experience, so I focus on helping you make smart decisions about your options. I often encourage people to try mediation to help resolve family law issues cost-effectively and with more control over the results. There are many issues that can be addressed in mediation or in court:
- Divorce and child support
- Division of property
- Child custody
- Spousal support
Condominium Law and other Civil Legal Matters
I represent people in civil legal matters, including condominium owners in disputes against their association. I have first-hand experience as a condominium owner, and understand that many condominium associations customarily act aggressively toward residents and force them to do things they do not want to do. Do not let a runaway condominium board terrorize you. Do not let it abuse its power. Fight for your rights by working with a lawyer to protect your interests.
