STATE CRIMES

If you are facing criminal charges in Miami, you are already dealing with pressure from law enforcement and prosecutors. Things move fast, and what you do early matters.

At The Law Offices of Alejandro De Varona, we step in right away to protect your rights and get a clear understanding of what the state is trying to prove. Every case is different, and we treat it that way. We look at the facts, the timeline, and how the arrest actually happened, not just what is written in a report.

If you have been arrested or think you may be under investigation, call (305) 227-7220 now to speak directly with a Miami criminal defense attorney.

DUI & Suspended License

A DUI charge can disrupt your life quickly.

Your license, your job, and your record are all at risk, even if this is your first offense. These cases often look straightforward on paper, but when you dig into them, there are usually issues worth challenging.

Field Sobriety Testing Issues
Breath and Blood Test Challenges
Protecting Your Ability to Drive in Miami

We work to clear up the underlying problem while keeping the criminal side of the case under control.

Drug Possession & Paraphernalia

Drug possession cases are not always as clear-cut as they seem. Just because something was found nearby does not automatically mean it belongs to you or that you had control over it.

Search and Seizure Violations
Constructive Possession Issues
Challenging Paraphernalia Allegations

We look closely at how the evidence was found and whether your rights were respected.

Intent to Sell & Trafficking

Possession with intent to sell is a major step up from simple possession. Drug trafficking charges carry serious penalties, including mandatory prison time in some situations.

Quantity and Packaging Arguments
Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Risks
Investigating Law Enforcement Conduct

We break down how the case was put together and look for issues in the investigation and the evidence.

Assault, Battery & Domestic Violence

These charges often come from heated situations where things escalated quickly. One side says one thing, the other side says something different.

Self Defense Considerations
Context and Witness Credibility
No Contact Orders and Restrictions

We focus on whether what happened actually meets the legal definition of the charge.

Theft, Burglary & Robbery

Theft charges depend heavily on how value is determined and whether intent can be proven. Burglary is about what the state claims you intended to do upon entry.

Identification Challenges
Value Thresholds and Charge Levels
Intent at Entry Disputes

We challenge both the value assigned and the underlying facts of the encounter.

Property Damage & Public Order

Disorderly conduct and trespassing charges can be applied broadly and sometimes unfairly. Property damage require proof of intent, not accidental acts.

Notice and Warning Requirements
Lawfulness of the Arrest
Overcharging and Misuse Concerns

We look at whether the conduct actually qualifies as criminal under the law.

Probation Violations

A probation violation can put you back in front of a judge quickly and put your freedom at risk. Violations can range from technical issues to new charges.

Technical vs. Substantive Violations
Strategies to Avoid Incarceration
Showing Compliance and Context

We focus on explaining the situation clearly and working toward a reasonable outcome.
