All Lawyers are not created equal.........Criminal defense is all we do
When your entire future is at stake, choosing a defense attorney with experience, dedication and compassion can make a difference. Peter Aiken, with over forty years of experience in defending serious crimes, understands the importance of choosing the right lawyer. As a former Federal Agent, Former Federal Prosecutor and veteran Trial Lawyer with four decades of actual courtroom experience defending criminal cases, he has represented the falsely accused in both State and Federal Courts throughout Florida. Hiring a Criminal defense lawyer is a lot like choosing your own heart surgeon. You must compare qualifications and experience and most importantly feel comfortable with the attorney who will be standing next to you in Court. There is no substitute for experience, hard work and aggressive defense.
Do Not Wait To Hire A Lawyer
Between your arrest and arraignment the prosecutor decides what charges, if any, to file. We may be able to get your charges dropped or reduced. We may be able to locate witnesses or discover facts that keep the charges form being filed. Early representation is critical to your defense. if you are under investigation for a sex crime, or tax crime having a lawyer may prevent you from ever being arrested. If a search warrant has been served or an arrest warrant issued get a lawyer immediately. Do not wait until it is too late.
Our Firm’s Commitment to your Defense
If you find yourself under investigation by either Federal authorities or local or State police, or worse yet, have been arrested and charged with a crime we understand how stressful your life has become. If a spouse, child or loved one has been charged we recognize how your life has been turned upside down. Many people do not know where to begin in selecting a criminal defense lawyer. In the world of modern day advertising it is difficult to know the difference between a lawyer that is good at advertising and a lawyer that is actually good in the Courtroom.
Peter Aiken and Sean O’Halloran are committed to a “leave no stone unturned” defense and are dedicated and determined to explore every alternative, every strategy and every means to preserve your freedom, your future and your good name. You are Innocent until proven Guilty. These are not just hollow words. There is a world of difference between being charged with a crime and being convicted before a jury. It does not take much to get arrested in Sarasota or Bradenton. A policeman’s opinion that you violated the law can land you in jail. We are committed to aggressively defending you both in and out of the Courtroom.
As a former Federal Agent and former Federal prosecutor, Peter Aiken understands the importance of balancing the scales that often seemed stacked against you. He has spent thirty years actually defending cases in the Federal and State Courts in Florida.
Sean O’Halloran, a former State prosecutor has for over a decade challenged the State and Federal prosecutors both in and out of Court.
Winning is no Accident. Hard work, knowledge of the law and a command of the Courtroom can make a huge difference between winning and losing. Some cases are “won” with successful and experienced negotiation and others the hard way, in front of juries. There is no substitute for actual trial experience. We are in Court often daily battling against hard headed prosecutors, often untruthful witnesses, and sometimes seemingly biased judges.

When lives and freedom are at stake, you want a criminal defense lawyer that is an experienced professional fearless fighter who will stand up on your behalf.
