The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney in Miami
If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime in Miami, choosing the right criminal defense attorney is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. The legal system moves quickly, and without experienced representation, you risk facing harsh penalties, a damaged reputation, and long-term consequences that can affect your future.
This guide will help you understand what to look for in a defense lawyer—and why Francisco Marty is trusted by clients across South Florida to defend their rights, freedom, and future.
Why Hiring a Criminal Defense Lawyer Early Matters
The biggest mistake people make after being arrested is waiting too long to hire an attorney. From the moment charges are filed, prosecutors start building a case against you. Having a skilled defense lawyer by your side early on means:
- Immediate protection of your rights
- Strategic guidance during police interviews
- Early intervention to challenge weak evidence
- A better chance of securing a dismissal or reduced charges
Francisco Marty understands the urgency. That’s why he offers fast, confidential consultations and is available to take action when time matters most.
