Have you been arrested for a crime? Remember to exercise your rights! You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Do not talk to law enforcement. Get an experienced Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer near you to represent you as soon as possible after your arrest. At Problems? Pick Porter!TM, we will professionally address your case with the utmost urgency and privacy. Our criminal lawyers stand ready to provide you with aggressive advocacy.
A seasoned criminal defense lawyer from our team will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest to seek out and challenge any flaw or weakness in the prosecution’s case. Many crimes carry with them significant social stigma and, therefore, the risk of prejudicial treatment and the miscarriage of justice. That is why it is important for you to secure effective legal representation in such cases.
Our criminal defense firm in Jacksonville has successfully represented clients in a range of criminal matters, including:
The strongest type of defense against a criminal charge in Florida is the defense of innocence. This means that the defendant does not admit to the crime that they are accused of and instead asserts their innocence.
Additionally, our Jacksonville criminal defense attorneys can provide experienced representation to defend against any wrongdoing or misuse of evidence by law enforcement officials during investigations
Each one needs its own set of evidence and witnesses to prove it effectively in court. Finally, defendants are also allowed to make use of motion hearings where they can challenge certain procedures taken by law enforcement agencies during their investigations.
Ultimately, each case is unique and should be discussed with one of our qualified criminal defense attorneys at Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. to determine which defense best applies for the situation at hand.
Navigating the criminal justice system can be overwhelming, especially if you are facing charges or are under investigation. At Problems? Pick Porter!TM, we believe that knowledge is power. That’s why we take the time to explain each step of the process to our clients, ensuring you are informed and prepared.
Here’s a brief overview of the critical stages in the criminal justice process:
Investigation
Law enforcement gathers evidence and may question witnesses. It’s crucial to have legal representation at this stage to protect your rights.
Arrest
If sufficient evidence is collected, an arrest may occur. Understanding your rights during this phase can significantly impact your case.
Charges Filed
The prosecutor decides whether to file charges. Our team will work to ensure that your side of the story is considered.
Pre-Trial
This phase includes hearings and negotiations. We will advocate for you to seek the best possible outcome.
Trial
If your case goes to trial, we will present a robust defense to protect your rights and freedoms.
Sentencing
If convicted, the court will determine your sentence. We will strive to mitigate any penalties you may face.

Mr. Porter is the best lawyer I have ever used. He handled my situation on my first court date. I live in North Carolina and was worried that I would have to return to Jacksonville for court. Mr. Porter and his staff are very knowledgeable, respectful, trustworthy and courteous. They are definitely the best in Jacksonville Florida.
