Never Been in Trouble Before? Start Here.

An arrest, or a phone call from a detective, is frightening, especially when it’s your first time dealing with the criminal justice system. Many first-time offenders believe that if they just explain themselves to the police, it will all go away. Too often, it makes things harder.

Attorney Ron Frey has represented many professionals and others who had never been in trouble before. He will explain the process in plain English, protect your rights from the start, and review every option that may apply to you. In some Florida cases, that can include pretrial diversion programs.

Three things to do right now:

  1. Don’t answer questions or give a statement without a lawyer. You can politely say you want to speak with an attorney.
  2. Don’t discuss your case with anyone else or post about it online.
  3. Call or text for a free, confidential consultation. Rapid response, 24/7.
