DRUG CRIMES
Often referred to as a “victimless crime” local law enforcement views the use of illegal narcotics as being the number one contributor to violence and theft in our state. Drug charges are prosecuted rigorously by the state of Florida where maximum penalties for certain cases are greater on the state level than on the federal. The use of illegal drugs has attained widespread acceptance among citizens in the state of Florida, often leading individuals to believe that being charged with possession of controlled substances is less serious than other types of accusations. Unfortunately, the vast majority of possession cases are felonies. A conviction for possessing any illegal drug will significantly hinder a person’s education and career goals.
VIOLENT CRIMES
A violent crime is defined as an action taken by an individual against another person that intentionally inflicts physical harm. The amount of injuries suffered by the alleged victim in a “violent crime” will directly effect the seriousness of the crime charged. Serious penalties are always sought by the state attorney’s office for those convicted. An aggressive defense by a seasoned trial lawyer is absolutely necessary in order to protect an individual’s rights in this regard.
SEX CRIME
An allegation of sexual battery can absolutely destroy an individual’s future. There is an unfortunate tendency for most to consider anyone charged with such an offense as being guilty, regardless of the facts attributed to the situation. It is all too often that prosecutors fail to examine these facts and proceed with a “convict at all costs” mentality. More surprising is that many local defense attorneys avoid aggressively defending these charges out of fear to the damage that it may cause their reputation in their area of practice. Unlike most crimes, there are rarely, if ever, any plea agreements that could be deemed acceptable due to the fact that any conviction will result in an accused being labeled “sex offender.” Sex offenders must engage in the registration process for the rest of their life which will result in one’s being unable to find work, housing or any form of respect in the community in which they live.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence has been considered to be one of the most “politically charged” crimes that can occur in this country for the last ten years. Unfortunately to face an allegation, all that is needed is one person’s statement against you. Law enforcement is often either unwilling or unable to use their discretion in determining the validity of such a claim, resulting in the case being filed in state court, bringing much hardship to an individual who is falsely accused. Domestic violence charges also carry minimum mandatory sentences, can never be sealed, and will absolutely hinder one’s education and career goals. The law offices of William Ryan Moore, P.A. have vast experience in dealing with domestic violence charges and are intimately familiar with the complex judicial process in this regard.
