Law Offices Of R. Jason de Groot, P.A. Attorneys and Counsellors at Law

If you are charged with a crime in Florida, give me a call for a free consultation, and put my 26 years of criminal defense experience to work for you.  Each case is different and each case demands personalized attention.

Crimes are made up of elements, each of which must be proven by the state beyond and to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt.  When you are charged with a crime, you do not have to prove or disprove anything, the State bears the burden of proof. For a limited time, you can retain my services in almost any Volusia County misdemeanor criminal case for only $750.00. This is for up to and including a dismissal or the entrance of a plea. This price does not include any court costs or trial. Payment arrangements can be made and the initial consultation is free.

Crimes in Florida are either misdemeanors or felonies. Misdemeanors are handled by the County Courts and Felonies are handled by the Circuit Courts. Misdemeanors are classified as First or Second Degree. Felonies are classified as Capital, Life, First, Second, or Third Degree.   Florida was ranked number 6 among the most dangerous states in 2010.
