Domestic Violence

Domestic violence allegations are serious—and the consequences can affect everything from where you live to whether you can see your children. Kathleen handles both the defense and prosecution of domestic violence-related injunctions, including dating violence and stalking. She understands how emotional and complicated these situations can be and works with care and discretion.

Misdemeanors

Even minor charges can leave a lasting mark. From petty theft and disorderly conduct to resisting arrest without violence, Kathleen treats misdemeanor cases with the same level of commitment and strategy as felonies.

Felonies

Serious charges demand serious defense. Kathleen represents clients facing felony charges across a wide range of situations—violent crimes, property crimes, firearm charges, and more.

Sex Crimes

Few charges carry the weight and stigma of a sex crime accusation. Kathleen provides sensitive, judgment-free representation in these matters. She builds strong, fact-based defenses while supporting clients through what is often the most difficult time of their lives.

Homicide

If you or a loved one is being investigated or charged in connection with a homicide, every moment counts. Kathleen’s strategic approach, meticulous case preparation, and courtroom presence are invaluable in high-stakes cases.

Firearm Offenses

Florida’s firearm laws are complex and often lead to enhanced penalties. Whether you're facing charges for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon or unlawful discharge, Kathleen can help you understand your options and rights.

Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking charges often involve aggressive prosecution and harsh sentencing guidelines. Kathleen is skilled at analyzing these cases to find weaknesses in the government’s case, from unlawful searches to problems with lab evidence.

Fleeing or Eluding Law Enforcement

What might seem like a moment of panic can turn into a serious felony charge. Kathleen helps clients who are accused of fleeing or attempting to elude officers—especially when the facts are more nuanced than the police report suggests.

Aggravated Battery and Aggravated Assault

Violent felony charges like aggravated battery and aggravated assault carry the risk of long prison terms and felony records. Kathleen works to uncover all the facts, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome.

Injunction Defense and Prosecution

Kathleen represents clients in both seeking and defending against injunctions, including those related to:

• Repeat violence
• Sexual violence
• Stalking
• Dating violence
