Douglas Leifert & Brian LeifertLet our experience as FORMER PROSECUTORS protect your rights!

You need an experienced criminal lawyer.  You deserve a skilled criminal attorney.  As former Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) and Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach) Prosecutors with over 30 years of combined Florida criminal and traffic law experience, we have the knowledge and experience of working with both the agencies and the Courts to help you through this difficult time.  Our main offices are located in Plantation and Delray Beach and serve the metropolitan areas of Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

A criminal charge not only carries with it potential punishment, but it may also have a devastating effect on your reputation, your ability to maintain and secure employment and citizenship.

The United States and Florida Constitutions, along with State Statutes and rules, provide you with a multitude of rights and privileges that an experienced Florida criminal defense attorney can help you with.

The best results may often be achieved only after extensive research, careful investigation and skillful negotiation. Your free initial consultation will determine how we can help with your defense.

If you have been recently arrested or charged with a criminal offense in the State of Florida, accused of driving under the influence (DUI), have a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear in court, are facing a violation of probation or community control, received a traffic ticket or want to explore the expunging or sealing of your record, we invite you to schedule your free consultation. We look forward to assisting you.
