ARRESTED WHILE VACATIONING IN SOUTH Beach FLORIDA?

OUT-OF-STATE REPRESENTATION FROM A MIAMI CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER

South Florida, specifically Miami Beach (i.e. South Beach) and Ft. Lauderdale are popular tourist destination spots where people from throughout the country come to relax and unwind. Getting arrested and taken to jail while on vacation is never part of the itinerary. Unfortunately, such has become a common theme with many of our clients.

You do not have to be a resident of Florida to be arrested and charged with a criminal offense here. Our attorneys have represented many clients who were arrested in South Florida while on vacation, including spring break arrests. Often times, we are able to resolve their case without the client ever having to return to attend court.


In many cases, we can help you avoid having to come back to Miami to appear in court if you were arrested while vacationing in Florida.


According to the Miami-Dade County Bar Association, you may be able to have a local attorney fight for your case without you actually having to come back to Florida. While you will likely be required to attend many court proceedings, this requirement can also be waived (especially if the defendant is a non-Florida resident).

ACT QUICKLY

You need to act quickly if you were arrested while visiting the state because you don't want to have to take time off of work and arrange for multiple visits. Regardless of the type of charge you incurred, you are required to attend an arraignment hearing- this is scheduled soon after your initial arrest. There is then a small window of time between your arrest and your arraignment hearing in which you can contact a local attorney.

Our lawyers can defend you from common charges that face tourists on vacation, such as:
