Fighting Criminal Charges
Fort Lauderdale is the county seat and biggest city in Broward County. It is named for a former U.S. fort established there in the 1830s when the U.S. government was fighting the Seminole Wars. Despite the name, there are no major, active military bases in the city. Fort Lauderdale's economy is heavily involved with tourism. In the 1980s, tourism focused on college students visiting during spring break, but has shifted in recent years to "snowbirds" from colder areas of the United States. When visitors are faced with criminal charges, they oftentimes do not know where to find a trustworthy lawyer. If you were visiting the city and have been charged with a criminal offense, our firm can be of assistance. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The city's main criminal court is the Broward County courthouse located at 201 SE 6th Street. It is where both misdemeanor and felony cases are heard. If you have any type of criminal case, contact our firm today for legal advice.
