David Edelstein is an AV Peer Review Rated criminal defense attorney
representing clients in state and federal criminal matters across the State of Florida.

Mr. Edelstein began his career in the state of Florida as an Assistant Public Defender with the Miami-Dade County Public Defender's Office. During his tenure there he represented clients charged with misdemeanors, felonies, and delinquent acts in both county and circuit courts throughout Miami-Dade County.

He has also been identified as a "Rising Star" in criminal defense by Super Lawyers Magazine--an honor limited to criminal defense attorneys who are 40 years old or younger.
