Marchman Acts

A Marchman Act is a means of providing an individual in need of substance abuse services with emergency services and temporary detention for substance abuse evaluation and long-term treatment when required, either on a voluntary or involuntary basis. 

For the past ten years I have handled hundreds of Marchman Acts in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Polk Counties representing the petitioners who are filing the Marchman and the Respondents who are in need of stabilization and treatment. 

This is a complex area of law that no two counties handle quite the same.  You should consult with an Attorney who is highly experienced in the area of Marchman Acts before entering this legal arena unprepared.

DUI

One of my primary areas of practice is handling cases of drunk driving. As a prosecutor, I created and managed the first Traffic Homicide Department at the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office.  I am recognized as one of the premier Tampa defense attorneys handling DUI and DUI Manslaughter related cases and am well-versed in this area of the law. You can be confident knowing I have the experience necessary to protect your rights. 

Expungements & Sealing 

I have helped hundreds of people throughout Florida seal and expunge their criminal records. I represent clients throughout Florida, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Polk County.

​WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEALING AND EXPUNGING?

When a criminal history record is sealed, the public will not have access to it. Certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in Section 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to the sealed record information in its entirety. When a record has been expunged, most of the entities which would have access to a sealed record will be informed that the subject of the record has had a record expunged but would not have access to the record itself without a court order.
