Florida Criminal Defense Attorney - Dean Galigani

I am a Florida Bar Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer and founder of Galigani Law Firm located in Gainesville, Florida. As a Florida Bar Association Certified Criminal Trial Law Specialist, I have been accredited the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar within my area of practice. Only those who have this certification may use the term "Expert" or "Specialist" when speaking about their knowledge and experience concerning the criminal justice subject matter.

It's an honor to say that I completed all the necessary qualifications, and my colleagues perceive my skills adequate and fitting to this prestigious official recognition. As such, I practice law with this in mind, and uphold the values associated with this certification and The Florida Bar Association.

With over 20 years of experience, I unwaveringly defend men, women and juveniles facing misdemeanor or felony criminal charges. My litigation experience includes all practices of criminal law such as DUI, domestic violence, drug charges, theft, burglary, and violent crime.

I use my expertise to create the best possible defense for each of my clients' needs. Regardless how many times I fight a particular offense, I understand that every case is unique, and each client receives my dedicated attention. This is especially important since even the smallest details can strengthen a defense strategy.

I understand the serious implications of a criminal conviction, which can haunt a person long after they have completed their sentence. Aside from the potentially large fines and precious time spent in jail or court that you can never get back, there are several other repercussions to handling a case without a skilled attorney. With the use of background checks, individuals with criminal records may find getting a job more difficult, disqualification for certain professional licenses, and missed housing opportunities.

I work diligently for my clients and help fight for their cause, pursuing the best possible outcomes. If you would like to speak to me about criminal charges brought against you, call Galigani Law Firm for a free consultation at (352) 375-0812. We can discuss the details of your case, determine your best option and begin creating a defense tailored to the details of your case. Galigani Law Firm serves Gainesville and the surrounding areas, including Ocala, Saint Augustine, Leesburg, Palm Valley, Lady Lake, Palm Coast Jacksonville Beach, Lakeside and Orange Park.

Orlando Criminal Defense Attorney: Maria D. Hale

The defense of men, women, and juveniles who have been charged with crimes has been the driving focus of Maria D. Hale for over 10 years. Her experience within criminal defense gives her the confidence to pursue dropped or minimized charges for her clients.

Maria's passion for criminal defense began as a result of a comprehensive legal education at the Stetson University College of Law and later experience as a Prosecutor.

Maria later became a member of the State Attorney DUI Manslaughter Special Prosecution Unit. She participated in and completed several Advanced DUI training sessions. Her experience and approach allowed her to be selected to attend the Florida Prosecution Attorney Association's "Train the Trainers Program." As an instructor in the program, she was given the opportunity to teach new Prosecutors DUI prosecution methods.

Her drive for sharing her knowledge and training the next generation of future lawyers didn't end here.

You should consider speaking with a Jacksonville divorce lawyer if you are having family law issues in Jacksonville or the surrounding area. The common issues that are handled by a Jacksonville divorce lawyer include divorce, child support, relocation, time sharing (visitation) and alimony.

You will have a much easier time as these issues are resolved and you will tend to get more positive results by hiring a Jacksonville divorce lawyer. Unlike some other firms, when you hire Mr. Mullaney as your Jacksonville divorce lawyer, you get him as your attorney - not an associate with far less experience.

The broader category of Florida Family Law encompasses a wide range of cases and issues, including uncontested divorce, contested divorce, paternity and adoption cases. The issues raised in Florida Family Law cases include: property division, debt division, child support, time sharing (formerly called visitation), child relocation, and alimony. Mr. Mullaney also represent clients in the modification of prior court orders, including those entered in other states.

There is no doubt that involvement in any family law dispute can cause a great deal of stress in your life. Since Mr. Mullaney has exclusively practiced as a Florida Family Law attorney in Jacksonville for over 11 years, he is aware of the emotional toll that these cases can take on clients. With that in mind, his goal is to help clients complete a smooth transition to the next stage of their lives.

In addition to being a Florida Family Law attorney, Mr. Mullaney is also a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator. As a result of his mediation training and experience as a Jacksonville divorce lawyer, he can help the parties (husband and wife, or mother and father) resolve their Florida Family Law dispute through mediation without resorting to litigation. Whether your dispute involves divorce, paternity, child support, alimony, asset division, debt division, visitation or child custody, a mediation may be the answer to resolving your case at lower expense to both parties since the resolution of your case does not involve the hiring of a Jacksonville divorce lawyer.

Once an agreement is reached (with or without mediation), a court order can usually be obtained in about one month for an uncontested divorce and within a few days for an uncontested paternity case. Uncontested divorce and uncontested paternity cases also have the benefit of greatly reduced legal fees.

Not all Florida Family Law matters involve litigation. Mr. Mullaney can also prepare your power of attorney, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive, and living will.

The Law Office of A. James Mullaney, is conveniently located just east of the San Marco neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida on Atlantic Boulevard. Free and convenient parking is available at the office.
