Why Choose Allstarr Legal?

Having an accomplished criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between imprisonment and freedom. It’s as simple as that.

She has been in the trenches of some of the toughest legal battles since her days as a public defender.

Our firm has successfully defended clients against a wide range of criminal charges, including:

• Assault and battery
• DUI

• Burglary
• Robbery
• Sex crimes
• Homicide, murder

From first-offense misdemeanors punishable by a year in jail to felony charges resulting in life imprisonment, Allstar Legal is the experienced choice. When you meet with us, we will weigh the strength of the case against you and choose the best line of defense. We know the ins and outs of the criminal justice system and will put the law to work for you.

Orlando Misdemeanor Defense

Misdemeanors are offenses punishable by 60 days (second-degree) to up to 1 year in county jail (first-degree). Common misdemeanor charges in Orlando include:

• Simple assault
• DUI (first offense)
• Petit larceny (shoplifting)

Although the penalties for a misdemeanor conviction are less severe than for a felony, having a permanent criminal record can damage your reputation and limit your employment and housing opportunities. Trust Allstarr Legal to work to keep your record clean and protect your future.

Defending Against Serious Felonies

Being convicted of a felony can have lasting repercussions, including imprisonment, fines, and probation. Starcee Rivera has successfully defended clients against serious charges ranging from felony DUI to life felonies. No matter the charges against you, Allstarr Legal will mount an aggressive defense and help you avoid a lengthy prison sentence.

Juvenile Crimes Defense

Our firm regularly handles all types of juvenile cases, including theft crimes, DUI, and other alcohol-related offenses. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance, especially children caught up in the juvenile system. Our attorneys will work to protect your child’s rights and help keep them on the straight path.

Potential Defenses Against Criminal Charges in Orlando

Being prepared is the key to a successful criminal defense. At Allstarr Legal, we start by obtaining and poring over the police report to assess the facts and determine whether law enforcement made mistakes or violated your rights:

• Did the police fail to Mirandize you?
• Did police conduct an illegal search and seizure of your person, vehicle, or home?
• Did interrogators coerce you to confess?

Under these circumstances, we can ask the court to suppress any evidence that was illegally obtained, which may lead to the charges being dismissed. Moreover, our team regularly collaborates with forensic experts to evaluate and challenge the validity of evidence gathered by law enforcement. By identifying these and other weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, we can work to win an acquittal.

At the same time, the best defense is an alibi: evidence (e.g. cell phone pings) or witness testimony that you were not at the scene when the alleged crime happened. Our criminal defense attorneys will identify potential witnesses who can testify as to your whereabouts and obtain video surveillance, GPS data, and other evidence to prove your alibi.

On the other hand, we may be able to prove that you did not intend to commit the alleged offense or that you acted in self-defense (a common defense in assault cases). While we are committed to securing your freedom, we will advise you of options that may be in your best interests. Rest assured, we will be honest about your prospects at trial so you can make informed decisions about the next steps.
