PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS. DEFENDING YOUR FUTURE.
Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful and life-changing experiences a person can face. The decisions you make in the hours and days after an arrest can have lasting consequences, which is why having an experienced criminal defense attorney in your corner from the very beginning is critical. At Herrera Law Firm, we fight aggressively to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.
Criminal Defense
DRUG CRIMES
From Possession to Trafficking, We Handle It All.
Florida takes drug crimes seriously and the penalties for conviction can be severe, including mandatory minimum sentences that remove sentencing discretion from the judge entirely. Whether you are facing a charge of simple possession or a serious trafficking allegation, the right defense strategy can mean the difference between a conviction and a dismissal, between prison time and a second chance.
Our firm defends clients against the full range of drug charges, from possession and paraphernalia offenses to manufacturing and trafficking allegations. We scrutinize every aspect of how evidence was obtained, challenging illegal searches and seizures, questioning the chain of custody, and holding law enforcement to the strict legal standards that protect our clients' constitutional rights. In appropriate cases, we also explore alternative sentencing options, diversion programs, and treatment-based resolutions that may allow our clients to avoid a permanent criminal record. Whatever the charge, we fight for the best possible outcome.
VIOLENT CRIMES
A violent crime charge is one of the most serious legal situations a person can face. The consequences, potential prison time, a permanent criminal record, and the lasting impact on your career, your family, and your reputation, make it essential to have an aggressive, experienced defense attorney in your corner from the very first moment. At Herrera Law Firm, we take violent crime charges seriously because we understand what is at stake for our clients.
Whether you are facing charges for assault and battery, robbery, burglary, or a firearm-related offense, our firm investigates every aspect of your case, challenging the prosecution's evidence, questioning the credibility of witnesses, and building the strongest possible defense on your behalf. Florida's Stand Your Ground law also provides important protections for individuals who acted in lawful self-defense, and our attorneys are experienced in asserting these rights when the facts support it. No matter how serious the charge, you are entitled to a vigorous defense and that is exactly what we provide.

WHITE COLLAR CRIMES
Discreet, Effective Representation for Complex Cases.
White collar crime charges, fraud, embezzlement, Medicare fraud, unlicensed contracting, and other financial offenses, carry consequences that extend far beyond criminal penalties. A conviction can end a career, destroy a professional reputation, trigger civil liability, and result in the loss of professional licenses that took years to earn. These cases are often built on complex paper trails, financial records, and government investigations that began long before an arrest was made.
At Herrera Law Firm, we understand the complexity and the gravity of white collar criminal defense. We dig into the details, reviewing financial records, examining how evidence was gathered, challenging the government's characterization of your conduct, and identifying every available defense. Whether you are under investigation, have been charged, or have already been approached by law enforcement, the time to act is now. Early intervention by an experienced defense attorney can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of your case.
