Comprehensive Criminal Defense Services in Sarasota
We provide strong legal representation across a wide spectrum of criminal defense matters in Sarasota and throughout the surrounding areas. Whether you’re under investigation, have been arrested, or are facing trial, we’re here to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
Criminal Defense
ECD Law represents clients charged with crimes in both state and federal court. Whether you’re accused of theft, drug offenses, assault, or another criminal matter, our attorneys will evaluate the facts, challenge the prosecution’s case, and pursue the best possible outcome — including dismissal, reduction of charges, or acquittal.
Misdemeanor Charges
While misdemeanors carry lighter penalties than felonies, a conviction can still lead to jail time, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record. We handle a wide range of misdemeanor cases, such as:
- DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
- Possession of marijuana
- Disorderly conduct
- Trespassing
- Petty theft
Even seemingly minor charges can carry lasting consequences, and we work to resolve your case efficiently and effectively.
Felony Charges
Felony offenses in Florida are serious matters that can lead to years in prison, large fines, and long-term consequences. ECD Law defends clients facing felony charges, such as:
- Drug trafficking
- Aggravated assault or battery
- Grand theft
- Firearms offenses
- Sex crimes
- Burglary or robbery
We will investigate the charges, examine the evidence, and build a strong defense aimed at preserving your rights and protecting your freedom.
White Collar Crime
White collar crimes typically involve financial fraud or deceit and may be prosecuted in state or federal court. These cases often include complex documentation and investigations. We represent clients facing charges such as:
- Embezzlement
- Insurance fraud
- Identity theft
- Wire fraud
- Credit card fraud
ECD Law understands how to navigate high-stakes financial cases, offering focused defense strategies to protect your reputation and livelihood.
Traffic Homicide
Traffic homicide investigations involve fatal car accidents where criminal charges may be filed, such as vehicular manslaughter or DUI manslaughter. These cases are handled aggressively by law enforcement and prosecutors. ECD Law will assess accident reconstruction reports, toxicology results, and all available evidence to defend your rights during this critical time.
Violations of Probation
If you’re accused of violating your probation in Florida, you could be facing serious consequences — including reinstated jail or prison time. Whether the alleged violation is technical (like missing an appointment) or substantive (being charged with a new crime), our team works to resolve probation violations and minimize penalties.
Modification of Bond or Pretrial Release
If you or a loved one is being held without bond or under restrictive pretrial release conditions, we can file a motion to reduce bond or seek release on more favorable terms. We present relevant information to the court, such as ties to the community, lack of criminal history, or employment, to advocate for your release.
