Representing You No Matter Where You Live
We have found that many people who need our services do not live in the Fort Walton area - nor anywhere in the county. As a result, we routinely represent people for out of state residents and have been able to quietly settle manner of these matters without the person being defended having to return to Florida and be embarrassed publicly by criminal matters. Even where court appearances are required, we will do everything that we can do to prevent you from having to repeatedly return to the courthouses in either Shalimar or Crestview for routine legal proceedings that can be handled without your presence.
DUI, Domestic Violence and all other criminal cases are disruptive and unsettling. We will do everything we can to help you through this difficult time in your life - with a minimum of disruption.
For more about the Okaloosa County courthouses, please note that cases in the Crestview area are handled at the Crestview Courthouse and most criminal cases from Destin, Niceville, Valparaiso, Shalimar, Bluewater Bay and Fort Walton Beach are handled at the Shalimar Courthouse Annex
