Legal Counsel Attorney

in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
You got the call. Or the knock on the door. Or a court date showed up in the mail.
Now everything you have built is on the line: your freedom, your reputation, your family, your assets.

You do not have time to guess your way through the legal system, and you cannot afford the wrong attorney.

Why Waiting Is Not a Neutral Decision

Every day without experienced legal counsel is a day the other side may be using to build their position.
HERE IS WHAT DELAY CAN COST YOU:
  • In Broward County, prosecutors review misdemeanor arrests within 21 days before deciding whether to file charges, and that window is where cases are won before they even begin
  • Statements made without an attorney present are often the ones that cause the most lasting damage to a case
  • In family law, assets can be moved, custody situations can solidify, and financial records become harder to access the longer you wait
  • If your situation involves both criminal and family law matters, uncoordinated representation across two firms creates gaps the other side will exploit
  • Target status in a criminal investigation can change without warning, and early intervention may prevent charges from being filed at all
  • The right attorney engages before charges are filed, not after

At Mayersohn Law Group, we provide aggressive private legal counsel for criminal defense and family law matters across Florida, representing professionals, business owners, and individuals who cannot afford to lose.

We engage before charges are filed, move fast, and build a strategy around your specific situation.

Criminal Defense and Family Law Under One Roof

Mayersohn Law Group handles both criminal defense and family law at a high level, which matters more than most people realize.

When a criminal charge is tied to a domestic dispute, or a divorce is complicated by a pending investigation, fully coordinated representation eliminates the gaps that arise when two separate firms are working without full visibility into each other’s strategy.

Our firm is one of the few in Florida positioned to handle both sides of that equation with the same depth of preparation and strategic focus.

Not sure which practice area applies to your situation? Call 954-765-1900 and we will help you understand your options.

Florida Criminal Investigation Defense Attorneys Who Act Before Charges Are Filed

By the time law enforcement contacts you, serves a subpoena, requests an interview, or executes a search warrant, prosecutors may have already spent weeks, months, or years gathering evidence.

What you do next, and how quickly you involve experienced legal counsel, can significantly affect the outcome. Our firm represents professionals, executives, business owners, healthcare providers, and financial professionals throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and across Florida facing state and federal criminal investigations.

We understand that investigations often threaten careers, licenses, reputations, and financial stability long before a case ever reaches court. Early intervention matters, and we are ready to move from day one.

Not sure whether your situation involves federal or state exposure?

Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Counsel Work in Fort Lauderdale

VIEW ALL FAQs

Do I really need a private attorney, or can a public defender handle my case?

Public defenders are often overworked and carry hundreds of cases simultaneously. A private attorney has the time, resources, and focused attention to build an aggressive strategy for your specific situation, including the ability to engage at the pre-filing stage before a public defender would even be assigned. The difference in preparation and availability can directly affect the outcome.

When should I call a lawyer after an arrest in Florida?

Immediately. What you say and do in the hours after an arrest can affect your entire case. Do not speak to law enforcement without an attorney present. Mayersohn Law Group is available 24/7 at 954-765-1900.

What if I have not been formally charged yet, should I still call?

Yes. If you are under investigation, the time to act is before charges are filed. Early legal intervention can mean the difference between charges being filed and the matter being resolved without a case. The pre-filing window is where the most important work happens.

Can Mayersohn Law Group handle both my criminal case and a related family law matter?

Yes. The firm is one of the few in Florida that handles both criminal defense and family law at a high level. If your situation involves both, fully coordinated representation under one roof eliminates the gaps that arise when two separate firms are working without full visibility into each other’s strategy.

What courts does Mayersohn Law Group appear in?

The firm regularly appears in Broward County Circuit Court, Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, Palm Beach County Circuit Court, and federal courts in the Southern District of Florida, and handles matters statewide.

What is the difference between a consultation and retaining an attorney?

A consultation is an initial meeting to review your situation, assess the legal issues, and understand your options. It does not create an attorney-client relationship or obligate you to retain the firm. Retaining an attorney means formally engaging the firm to represent you through a signed agreement and payment of a retainer.

What should I do if law enforcement contacts me before I have an attorney?

Politely decline to answer questions and state that you wish to speak with an attorney before providing any information. You are not required to speak with law enforcement, and anything you say can be used against you. Contact the firm immediately at 954-765-1900.

How much does a private attorney in Florida cost?

Legal fees vary based on the complexity and severity of the case. The firm offers an initial consultation so you can understand your situation and your options before making any financial commitment. Call 954-765-1900.
