Firm Profile

In October 2007, Anthony Reeves decided to create a law firm that would serve the general needs of the community while focusing on achieving a level of excellence in personal service and support. The Reeves Law Firm, P.A. is a full service law firm located in Kissimmee, Florida and Bartow, Florida. Our goal is to offer competent legal advice - the degree of representation you might expect from a large firm. However, we do so without losing sight of the principles that helped structure our firm.

Anthony Reeves is admitted to all of the state courts in Florida, as well as all of the Federal Courts in Florida, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal and United States Supreme Court.

Prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Reeves spent 3 years with the Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security as a Senior Safety and Health Specialist.

In addition, Mr. Reeves conducted numerous on-site safety and health consultations throughout the state of Florida to assist employers in reducing the number of occupational injuries and illnesses in the workplace.

Upon completing his Masters degree in 1995, Mr. Reeves was commissioned as a Naval Officer and stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina as an Industrial Hygiene Officer. During his three years in the Navy, Mr. Reeves conducted industrial hygiene inspection of military and civilian facilities to assist these sections in reducing the incidence of biological, chemical, mechanical, and ergonomic hazards.

Founded in 2001 by myself & my partner, Keith Carsten, Carsten & Ladan, P.A. is dedicated to the defense of those accused of criminal offenses in State and Federal Court. We pride ourselves on our integrity and our dedication to quality legal representation.

Each of our four attorneys have practiced criminal law since 1998 and are all former Assistant State Attorneys in Orlando.

I have successfully defended clients charged with a wide-array of criminal offenses, ranging from life felonies to simple misdemeanors in adult and juvenile court. Although my average client is a 1st or 2nd time offender, I have represented countless clients with extensive criminal records and achieve uncommon results.

People have problems. I have always viewed my role as an attorney and advocate from the same perspective - my job is to help people solve their problems. In that respect, trouble is my business.

As a problem solver, I strive to reduce the client's risk and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome. As an advocate, I am ethically obligated to vigorously act in my client's best interests. Whenever possible, I provide clients with innovative, sound and flexible strategies for solving their legal problems. But I will be the first to tell you that many legal problems can't be resolved without confrontation. When necessary, I will initiate aggressive action to solve my client's legal problems and protect their rights.

I recognize that clients want an attorney who will provide legal services in an efficient, cost-effective manner. I do not believe in creating acrimonious situations in order to make problems worse and generate additional legal fees. I believe in defusing volatile situations, but recognize that this is not always possible.

I am very proud to be a cancer survivor (25+ years). I credit the disease with teaching me an invaluable lesson - how to remain disciplined, focus on my goal, overcome adversity and thrive during the most challenging times.
