Criminal Defense Is More Than the Charges You See
When most people think of criminal defense, they focus on the headline-grabbing charges—like homicides, drug trafficking, or DUI. But criminal defense law is far broader than that. At El-Naffy Law, we offer legal counsel and courtroom representation for a wide range of matters that don’t always make the news, yet have life-altering consequences.
Attorney Carolle El-Naffy, a former Assistant Public Defender and experienced Miami criminal defense lawyer, brings a deep understanding of Florida’s justice system—both in and out of the spotlight.
Lesser-Known Criminal Matters We Handle
Some charges may seem minor at first glance, but they carry serious penalties and long-term effects. Here are some of the “and more” services we offer:
1. Bench Warrants and Failure to Appear (FTA)
If you’ve missed a court date or have an outstanding warrant, we can help you resolve the issue proactively—before you’re taken into custody.
2. Driver’s License Reinstatement
Whether due to DUI, unpaid tickets, or habitual traffic offenses, we assist clients in navigating the steps to regain a valid license and avoid further penalties.
3. Juvenile Defense
Children and teens deserve a second chance. We represent minors in delinquency cases and guide families through the complexities of juvenile court.
4. Injunctions and Restraining Orders
We provide legal counsel for those accused of violating protective orders and offer guidance in defending against improper injunctions.
5. Criminal Contempt of Court
If you’re facing contempt charges for violating a court order or showing disrespect to the court, we can represent you in seeking reduced penalties or dismissal.
6. Record Corrections & Legal Motions
Have incorrect information on your criminal record? We can file motions to correct or clarify court records and prior judgments.
7. Pre-Charge Representation
If you’re under investigation but haven’t yet been charged, it’s critical to have a lawyer by your side. We provide legal support in the early stages to help prevent charges from being filed.
8. Restoration of Civil Rights
We assist eligible clients with the process of restoring rights that may have been lost due to a conviction, including voting and firearm ownership rights.
9. Mitigation & Sentencing Advocacy
Even if a conviction cannot be avoided, we advocate for reduced sentencing through strong mitigation strategies based on your background, character, and circumstances.
