Criminal Law Attorney Representing Clients In Marathon, The Florida Keys, And The Rest Of Monroe County

Being arrested for a criminal charge in the State of Florida is a serious matter. The earlier that you involve a competent, experienced criminal lawyer, the better your chances for an acquittal will be. Conversely, every move you make without competent legal counsel can further jeopardize your case.

The Law Offices of W.J. Heffernan, Jr. represents residents of Monroe County and the Florida Keys who have been arrested or accused of a crime. Regardless of whether you've been accused of a crime, investigated for a crime, or arrested, our attorneys believe that the instant you hire us, the better your odds of staying out of jail become. W.J. Heffernan represents individuals accused of:

• Traffic Misdemeanors

If you've been arrested or issued a Notice to Appear for any of these crimes, you deserve the best legal representation available. At W.J. Heffernan, we meet with our accused clients privately to review the facts of their case with them. Once we know why the police are interested in you, what your involvement is, and any other mitigating circumstances, we can discuss how to move forward with your defense. The police will be notified that you have obtained legal representation, and that all future inquiries should be directed through your attorney.

Very few of our Monroe County clients are equipped with the legal knowledge that's necessary to deal directly with the police. When you hire W.J. Heffernan, you'll have an attorney with you when the police are conducting their interviews. Your lawyer will also be able to review the prosecution's entire case as part of discovery before the trial.

Whether you've been arrested for a misdemeanor, like possessing cannabis or a traffic offense, or you're being investigated for a more serious crime, like robbery or murder, the outcome of your case will have a bearing on your entire life. Trust a Marathon Criminal Law attorney who has a track record of defending the accused residents of the Florida Keys.
