Umatilla, Florida

With a violent crime rate a bit higher than the U.S. average, Umatilla is a small city (population of about 3,500) whose most common crimes are assault and theft-related offenses. At Adams & Luka, our criminal defense attorneys know that regardless of a city's population, individuals are going to be investigated for or charged with various crimes from drug possession or DUI to shoplifting, domestic violence, and auto theft. However, an arrest does not indicate a person will be found guilty. Anyone who is charged with a criminal offense must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It is our job to protect your legal rights, advise you of the legal options available to you, and develop an effective, sound legal strategy. We urge you to call us now at (352) 787-2101 regardless of the charges you are facing.

Being arrested for any offense is a stressful experience, no matter how minor the crime may seem at the time. Most likely you are scared and apprehensive, not knowing what you face.

When possibly facing criminal charges, it is vital to consult with a knowledgeable, skilled defense attorney. At Adams & Luka, we are highly familiar with the criminal justice process in central Florida, and know how police and prosecutors work. You have legal rights under the U.S. Constitution that must be protected; police make mistakes, which may work to your advantage. We will thoroughly investigate your case, discuss various legal options with you, and work to develop the strongest possible defense should it become necessary to go to trial.

Representing yourself is never a good idea when you are facing criminal charges. Prosecutors are intimidating and relentless; a thorough understanding of the law and a defense attorney who is aggressive and ready to fight on your behalf is vital to positive results. At Adams & Luka, we will do whatever it takes to have charges dismissed or reduced, or secure an acquittal at trial. Contact us immediately for a free consultation at (352) 787-2101.
