Miranda Rights

You have rights when you are arrested, and you should exercise them.

  • You have the right to remain silent.
  • Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
  • You have the right to speak to an attorney.
  • You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.
  • If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you.

Hiring a Defense Attorney vs. Working with a Public Defender

Public defenders often have heavy caseloads, which diminishes their ability to dive deeply into individual cases. Our Jacksonville Beach criminal defense attorneys pore over every detail of your case to provide you with a targeted defense strategy.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

Serving Jacksonville, FL Since 2004

    "I am grateful to have received such a terrific recommendation, and I'm happy to have met Mr. Watson."
    Mr. Richard Watson was recommended to me by a friend after I was in a car accident. With no prior experience with auto accidents in Florida, I had to learn about PIP, settling with the at-fault driver's insurance company, working with my own health insurance company, and the subrogation process. Mr. Watson was responsive and professional, he offered guidance that assured me I understood each step of the process and was diligent about communication at each step. I am grateful to have received such a terrific recommendation, and I'm happy to have met Mr. Watson. I highly recommend him and the Porter firm.

    "Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable."
    Mr. Porter helped me in 2010 with a Breach of Contract case in which he was able to recover my earned commissions from my former employer. Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable in the area of Non Compete agreements which allowed for a quick settlement from my former employer. The staff was great and addressed my issues and questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Porter to anyone that has a case in the areas he practices in.

    "You really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind."
    Over the past month or so I had made a call to the Law offices of Jason Porter because I needed to resolve an issue that occurred over 7 years ago. Once I explained the situation the secretary sent me directly to Jonathan Thacher. All I can say is that Thacher did an amazing job handling my case and I am extremely happy right now. I no longer have to worry about that problem ever again thanks to Thacher. The work was effective and everything went through perfectly. Thank you so much man you really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind.

    "We picked Porter and glad we did!!!"
    Jason and his firm came highly recommended by my family member. My son's case would have eventually ended up with negative consequences if not for Jonathan Thatcher. Jonathan was supportive, knowledgeable and kept us informed at all stages of the case. Great firm and appreciate all your hard work in the success of my son's case. I would use this firm again and again.
