Criminal Offenses

When you have been charged with a criminal offense such as drug posession or a DUI, it is critical to have an attorney dedicated to protecting your rights and seeking the best possible outcome. It is also important to work with a lawyer who thoroughly understands the criminal justice system. At our DeLand, Florida, law firm, Philpott Law, our attorneys have extensive backgrounds in criminal law. Danny Philpott was a Volusia County prosecutor. They have the experience and knowledge to mount a vigorous defense on behalf of clients.

Our Criminal Defense Practice

We vigorously defend people against charges such as:

• Drug possession, including possession of cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamine and prescription narcotics such as OxyContin and Vicodin
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Drug distribution and trafficking
• Battery and aggravated battery
• Assault
• Domestic violence
• Burglary
• Grand theft
• Weapons offenses
• Sex crimes
• Theft and shoplifting
• Driving / Boating Under the Influence (DUI / BUI)
• Driving on a suspended license

Our goal is to ensure that your constitutional rights are protected and that you are not subject to illegal searches, seizures or improper questioning. We make sure that any evidence against you that was gathered illegally is not used in court. We determine whether law enforcement followed proper procedures with traffic stops or witness interviews and seek alternative dispositions and sentences when appropriate that may keep you out of jail or prison.

We welcome prospective clients and invite them to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation about any felony or misdemeanor criminal matter.
