Protecting Your Rights During Criminal Trials
If you are facing criminal charges, you may feel as though everything you have worked for is on the line. Your freedom, your reputation and your criminal record can all suffer if you do not find a lawyer who has what it takes to protect your rights.
I am Michael L. Edwards, Attorney at Law, and I have over 30 years of experience defending clients throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida who are facing criminal charges. Prior to opening my own firm, I worked as a prosecutor. Working on the other side helps me understand what prosecutors are looking for in a case, and what I need to do to build a strong defense. I work aggressively to protect my clients' rights at every step. Contact me online or call 904-350-9800 to schedule a free consultation.
