She defends clients across Leon County and North Florida, with particular focus on serious, high-stakes matters. Below are the primary practice areas available to clients in Midtown:

Domestic Violence

Whether it's a first-time accusation or part of a longer legal battle, Kathleen understands the urgency and sensitivity of domestic violence charges. She can defend you in the criminal case and help you respond to or file for an injunction (restraining order) if needed.

Misdemeanors

Misdemeanor charges like petty theft, simple battery, or possession of marijuana can still lead to jail time, fines, and lasting consequences. Kathleen takes these cases seriously, working to protect your record and your reputation.

Felonies

From aggravated assault to burglary or armed robbery, felony charges can result in years behind bars. Kathleen’s experience with serious charges means you get a defense built with strategy and care. No scare tactics — just smart, steady representation.

Sex Crimes

Sex crime allegations are devastating. If you’ve been accused of sexual battery, lewd conduct, or a computer-related sex offense, you need an attorney who will treat you with respect while fighting back with skill. Kathleen brings discretion, clarity, and determination to these sensitive cases.

Homicide

Kathleen takes on the most serious charges, including manslaughter and murder. She works with experts, investigators, and witnesses to build a meticulous, meaningful defense. Her work in this area reflects her highest level of dedication and legal strategy.

Firearm Offenses

Whether you’re facing a charge related to possession, concealed carry, or using a firearm in a crime, Kathleen knows how to defend your rights under Florida’s strict gun laws.

Drug Trafficking

Florida’s drug trafficking laws are harsh, and mandatory minimum sentences can feel like a dead end. Kathleen takes a thorough, no-judgment approach to these cases — working hard to negotiate, mitigate, or fight the charges head-on.

Fleeing or Eluding Law Enforcement

One split-second decision can turn a traffic stop into a felony. If you’re accused of fleeing or eluding, Kathleen helps you understand the charges and builds a defense grounded in the facts and the law.

Aggravated Battery & Assault

These charges often stem from emotionally charged situations — and the difference between assault and self-defense can come down to a few crucial details. Kathleen will make sure your voice is heard and your rights are defended.

Injunctions

Kathleen handles both the defense and filing of injunctions in Midtown Tallahassee. Whether it’s an injunction for stalking, dating violence, sexual violence, repeat violence, or domestic violence, she helps clients navigate the emotional and legal complexities of these orders.
