Death Penalty Cases

Florida Certified Death Penalty Defense Attorney

Defending the accused facing the death penalty is a unique and stressful area of the law. Many lawyers are not willing or prepared to take on death penalty cases. To be qualified to handle death penalty cases, Florida attorneys must be highly trained and dedicated. They must have extensive trial experience, and they must keep their certification current through ongoing CLE (continuing legal education). They must be willing to go up against the best prosecutors in high-stakes circumstances.
