Common Questions

Clear answers before you make your next move.

Should I talk to the police?

Do not discuss the facts of the case before speaking with an attorney. Be respectful, but you can clearly say that you want to remain silent and speak with a lawyer before answering questions. Statements made early in an investigation can become part of the evidence later.

What happens after an arrest in Miami?

If you are not released beforehand, Florida rules generally require a first appearance before a judge within 24 hours of arrest. From there, prosecutors review the case, charges may change, and additional court dates can follow. Getting legal guidance early gives your attorney more time to review what happened and identify issues that may affect the case.

What if I have not been arrested yet?

You do not need to wait for an arrest to speak with a lawyer. If you believe you are under investigation, have been contacted by law enforcement, or learn that a warrant may exist, Hoss can review the situation and explain what steps may need to be taken before you make statements or important decisions.

Can my charges be reduced or dismissed?

It depends on the facts, the evidence, and the circumstances of the case. Possible outcomes can include dismissal, reduced charges, diversion, a negotiated resolution, or trial. No attorney can promise a particular result. Hoss reviews the evidence and explains the realistic options based on your specific case.

How much does criminal defense representation cost?

The initial consultation is free. If Hoss accepts the case, the fee depends on factors such as the charge, stage of the case, expected hearings, evidence, and the amount of work the defense may require. You will know the scope of representation and the fee before deciding whether to move forward.
