Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges in Florida, it is crucial to have bold and aggressive legal representation. The consequences of a conviction can be severe, including imprisonment, fines, lengthy probation periods, the loss of many of your rights, including the right to own a gun or hold a professional license, and in many cases, immigration consequences like deportation. Additionally, the stigma of being accused of a crime can make it more difficult for you to find work or rent an apartment in the future. When you come to Valiente Law, you will have confidence, knowing that passionate advocates are in your corner. When your future is on the line, we will stand by you.
We provide a powerful combination of sophisticated legal advice and superior personal service that can only be found at a boutique law firm. We work to build relationships with our clients so they always feel comfortable trusting us with their most pressing matters.

Because going up against the State of Florida or the federal government can be daunting, we patiently guide our clients through every phase of a case, from the bond hearing, arraignment, pretrial discovery and all court appearances. Our objective is to win your case – whether that means an acquittal to secure your freedom after trial or aggressive pre-arraignment investigation and advocacy to avoid charges ever being filed in the first place.

Our team will conduct a thorough investigation, identify and interview witnesses and all parties involved, including police, and seek out evidence of your innocence.

Above all, we will provide you with a well-thought-out defense strategy, making sure that you receive a fair trial and helping you achieve the best possible outcome.
