Clearwater Criminal Defense Attorney
Former Defense Counsel for the US Army Reserve
No one ever prepares for criminal charges to be levied against them, let alone the possible consequences of a criminal conviction. It is easy to be intimidated by the legal system. If you find a powerful criminal lawyer in Clearwater to defend you, you increase the chances of a positive outcome, as you will have a true professional on your side. When you hire me, I can assure you that you will receive outstanding representation. I started my law firm, The Law Office of Wyndel G. Darville, PLLC, to help Clearwater area residents who are facing charges, from drug offenses to DUI.

If you have been charged with any type of crime, you should be aware of the possible penalties you could face. You could have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony. Misdemeanors carry less severe penalties than felonies. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor in Florida, the longest possible jail time you could be sentenced to is 1 year. Felonies, however, allow for far longer terms, served in state prison with the worst offenders. If you are convicted of a felony, you could be sentenced to life in prison or for some charges, the death sentence. That's why it is of the utmost importance to hire a committed and aggressive criminal defense lawyer, whether you are facing misdemeanor charges or felony charges, as your future is at stake.
If your child has been arrested, you might not know who to turn to. But it is extremely important to get legal representation of the highest caliber for your son or daughter. Everyone makes mistakes, and young people can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or associated with the wrong people, permanently damaging future opportunities. If your child is charged with a juvenile crime, it could directly affect his or her future. I can help you or your loved one fight criminal charges today.
