Do I Really Need a Lawyer?

Circumstances can lead to anyone being falsely accused of criminal wrongdoing.  Of course, it just makes sense to hire an attorney to fight false accusations.  Sometimes, unfortunately, people make decisions that result in their becoming involved in the commission of a crime.  However regrettable such a decision may be afterward, it is especially important to retain an attorney in these situations to protect your rights.  An experienced lawyer can ensure that any legal defenses, as well as any extenuating or mitigating circumstances are effectively presented to the judge and/or a jury.  Also, in this age of increasingly harsh criminal penalties and minimum mandatory sentences, it is important to reduce one's exposure to possible sentences.  Common sense tells us that experienced and aggressive attorneys get results.  Being thoroughly familiar with the legal issues involved in every case, fully investigating the facts, and identifying any problems with the evidence are all vital in resolving a criminal case more favorably.

Personal Service is Important

A common complaint we hear about attorneys is that once they have been paid, they cannot be reached to discuss the client's case.  Communication is very important when representing clients accused of committing a crime.  Clients need to know where they stand at all times, so that they can properly consider all of their options.  For this reason, Mr. Kaleita strives to be not only effective as an attorney, but to be available and responsive to his clients as well.  Initial office consultations are normally free and his office hours can be flexible.  He returns telephone calls promptly and keeps his clients informed on the status of their case - in short, he provides ongoing counsel to his clients.  As an informed consumer of legal services, you need to be certain that you have chosen a law firm where you will be satisfied not only with the representation, but with the service as well.  With this firm, we offer the opportunity for both. 

Mr. Kaleita has been practicing in the field of criminal law for over 25 years and is licensed in both the state and federal courts.  As a former senior prosecutor, he is thoroughly familiar with how criminal cases are handled and prepared for trial by the government against the person accused.  As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, he has come to the aid of hundreds of private citizens accused of crimes.  His years of practice, now on both sides of the table, serve to provide his clients with insightful defense strategies and perspective available only through experience gained in the courtroom.  As a member of both the the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Central Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Jack Kaleita brings not only himself, but over two and a half decades of experience to the defense table as your attorney.
