![]() |
Being charged with any crime is a frightening experience. You need to know your rights under the law and act to protect them immediately- before memories fade, evidence is lost, or witnesses disappear. Don't wait to get help. The longer your criminal defense attorney has before trial, the stronger your defense can be. |
Mr. Edelstein is a former criminal lawyer with the Miami-Dade County Public Defender who devotes his practice exclusively to criminal defense in the state of Florida, with a strong emphasis on the trial phase of legal advocacy. During his career as a private criminal defense lawyer, he has handled and tried a wide range of criminal cases in Miami and Fort Lauderdale as well as other jurisdictions in Florida. His trial experience, along with a personal commitment to his clients, combine to offer the prospective client competent representation in a supportive, hands-on environment. As a criminal defense attorney, his philosophy is grounded in the strong belief that his clients should be fully informed about every aspect of their case as it progresses.
