White collar crimes are very common, especially in the United States, as they are easier to commit than most other serious crimes due to the help of technology. - [Weapons Charges](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/weapons-charges/): Most individuals who possess weapons or firearms do so for protection and in compliance with the law. You never know when you’re going to face life-threatening danger and need a firearm to protect your life. If you’ve been charged with a weapons crime, it’s important to recognize that Florida gun laws are notoriously strict and somewhat confusing, making it understandable that simply trying to protect yourself or your family might make you end up on the wrong side of the law. - [Warrants](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/warrants/): If you have an outstanding felony or misdemeanor warrant in Palm Beach County, then contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at McLaughlin Morris Law. We can help you determine whether the warrant actual exists and the amount of bond attached to the warrant, if any. We can contact law enforcement on your behalf to help you invoke your right to remain silent. - [Violent Crimes](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/violent-crimes/): If you’ve been accused of a violent crime, you must not face the criminal justice system on your own. Not only is it complex and daunting, but it intimidates defendants to a crippling degree. The law will do everything in its power to put you behind bars, which is why you need our skilled, trusted Delray Beach violent crime attorneys to uphold your best interests. - [Violation of Probation](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/violation-of-probation/): Probation is a condition imposed by the court, instead of incarceration, that requires a person to be supervised and comply with certain standards and special conditions. Examples include following curfew and passing drug tests. If your probation officer suspects that you committed a willful and substantial violation of those terms, they will fill out an affidavit and ask the court to either schedule a court date or issue a warrant for your arrest. - [Record Sealing Expungement](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/record-sealing-expungement/): When charged with a criminal offense, individuals usually focus on how a conviction will impact their immediate future. They are concerned with the potential of fines, probation, or even time behind bars. However, when an individual is convicted of a crime, their criminal record follows them for life, which could seriously impact their ability to gain employment or receive a quality education. - [Prescription Fraud](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/prescription-fraud/): Under Florida law, prescription fraud involves unlawfully obtaining prescription drugs without the consent or lawful permission of a medical professional. - [Theft and Property Crime](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/theft-and-property-crime/): Florida law categorizes crimes involving property in two different ways. The first involves the theft or taking of property, while the second way involves trespassing on or damaging property. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the alleged offense, if you are arrested for a theft or property crime, you could face misdemeanor or felony charges. - [Sexual Offenses](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/sexual-offenses/): If you’ve been arrested for a sexual offense, do not wait any longer to retain defense. You need our seasoned legal team to better prevent you from losing your time, freedom and money to an alleged sexual criminal offense. With so much at stake, you should entrust our knowledge, resources, and fortitude to work around the clock to protect your reputation and rights. - [Serious Traffic Offenses](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/serious-traffic-offenses/): A conviction for a criminal traffic violation can result in possible imprisonment and significant fines. If you were arrested for any serious traffic violation, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. McLaughlin Morris Law represents clients facing misdemeanor and felony traffic charges in Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach County, and Broward County. - [Marijuana Defense](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/marijuana-defense/): Marijuana is among the most popular recreational drugs in the country. Despite intense debates and strong political pushes, marijuana remains illegal in the State of Florida. If charged with a cannabis-related offense, an individual could potentially be subject to fines, prison time, a permanent criminal record, and limitations on occupational and educational opportunities. - [Juvenile Offenses](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/juvenile-offenses/): If your child was arrested, you should ensure that they have our experienced legal representation for a better chance at overcoming a conviction. An accusation alone could damage your child’s future and reputation, which should be avoided at all costs. The last thing your child needs is suffering limited opportunities for higher education, employment and trusting relationships with friends and loved ones due to a criminal record from their youth. - [Identity Theft](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/identity-theft/): If you are charged with identity theft, then you need a focused defense.

Morris spent six years as a prosecutor in the Broward County State Attorney’s Office’s Economic Crimes Unit and understands these cases. - [Fraud Crimes](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/fraud-crimes/): Within the past 10 years, the three most populous South Florida counties — Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade — have become renowned for fraudulent schemes that cost the government, businesses and individuals millions of dollars each year. Like other types of economic crimes, fraud can be prosecuted in either state or federal court, and the process can be daunting and complicated. - [First Time Offenders](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/first-time-offenders/): There’s a first time for everything, and for some, this includes facing criminal charges. An arrest for a crime can be an emotionally charged event, especially when it’s your first one. Feelings of panic and despair can cloud your judgment and lead to poor decisions that could ultimately hurt you in the future. Thus, you need a powerful legal team backing you: We are here for you. - [Federal Charges](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/federal-charges/): Federal crimes are the most serious charges and must be treated as such. If you’ve been accused of a federal crime, there is no time to waste: Speak to our defense lawyer immediately to learn about your options. We represent clients on a myriad of federal crimes, including white collar crimes, drug crimes, and identity theft charges. These charges are often investigated by federal agents such as the FBI or DEA, therefore you should never speak to any law enforcement officer or federal agent until after you have retained our experienced federal crimes attorney to defend your rights. - [Economic Crimes](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/economic-crimes/): Economic crimes involve a financial loss to individuals, corporations, governments, or entire economies. Because of the complex nature of these criminal offenses, the investigations are often funneled to a specialized unit of skilled investigators who prepare the cases for prosecution. As such, you need our defense attorney to examine every detail of your case and utilize our knowledge and resources to strategize methods to resolve your situation. - [Drug Charges](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/drug-charges/): A drug charge can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. You may be facing a state level misdemeanor or felony charge, or even a federal offense. A drug arrest threatens your future with the possibility of jail time and/or probation, steep fines, and a criminal record that can interfere with your future opportunities. - [Domestic Violence](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/domestic-violence/): A charge for spousal abuse, family violence, or any other offense qualifying as domestic violence can severely impact your liberties and lead to prison time and steep fines. The worst part is that domestic violence accusations are not always true. - [DUI](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/dui/): Arrested for DUI? Don’t face your charge alone. It is a stressful, complex matter that is best addressed by our skilled DUI defense attorney. There are many different situations involving DUI charges that can affect your potential consequences. These include prior DUI offenses, if harm was inflicted on a person or property during the offense, whether you are underage, and whether you hold a professional license. Because so many factors can affect the situation, it is important to enlist the help of our attorney who is familiar with the types of DUI scenarios seen most often in Florida. - [Airport Crimes](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/airport-crimes/): With offices in Delray Beach and Miami, we represent clients charged with a wide variety of state and federal crimes, from misdemeanor firearm charges to felony charges for drug smuggling, the attorneys at McLaughlin Morris Law can help you mount an aggressive defense. - [Criminal Defense](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/criminal-defense/): A criminal charge could potentially and substantially change your life, regardless of the outcome of your case. A criminal conviction, regardless of how minor it is, can remain on your criminal record and severely limit your educational and occupational opportunities.

If you are facing charges for a criminal offense in Miami or South Florida, don't hesitate to reach out to our criminal defense attorneys at McLaughlin Morris Law. - [Recreational Accidents](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/recreational-accidents/): There is a lot to offer the person who wants to have fun in the Palm Beach area. With miles of pristine beaches and gorgeous waters, people come from all over the world to vacation. However, sometimes efforts to have fun end in disastrous and, sometimes, tragic ways. - [Wrongful Death](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/wrongful-death/): When a loved one dies, nothing can truly make up for the loss. If your spouse, parent, child or family member died because of the negligence or wrongful act of another, your experience can be especially tragic and unbearable. As such, you deserve justice for your loss. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, the Florida Wrongful Death Act allows you to sue and recover a monetary award, both for the material support the victim would have provided and the emotional damage the responsible party caused you. - [Slip & Fall](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/slip-fall/): If a property owner has reason to believe a person might be on their property — especially if they invite people on the property to shop or do business — then they have a responsibility to keep their premises safe. If they don’t, and a person is injured as a result, that person may have a right to compensation for their damages. Those damages may account for medical bills, inability to work and make an income, along with other losses and inconveniences that resulted from the injuries. - [Child Injury](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/child-injury/): When parents entrust schools, daycares, or other third parties with the care of their children, there is the reasonable expectation that appropriate supervision will be provided as part of a safe environment. Unfortunately, children can sustain serious injuries that result in substantial medical expenses and possibly a lifetime of additional consequences when one of these parties acts negligently. - [Personal Injury](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/): An accident can be debilitating. Luckily, you’re not alone. At McLaughlin Morris Law, we aggressively fight for those who have been hurt as a result of someone’s negligence. If you were wrongfully injured, you should focus on recovering and moving forward from your painful incident, not on stressing about a legal case to get the compensation you both need and deserve. That’s our job. - [Auto Accident](https://www.mclaughlinmorris.com/personal-injury/auto-accident/): An auto accident can occur anytime, during even the most mundane errands. The consequences of a car accident, however, can be devastating. One driver's negligence can lead to severe accident injuries for the drivers and passengers of the other vehicles involved. Suppose you have been the victim of a collision with another car. In that case, you deserve to be compensated for your suffering and the other damages resulting from the car crash. ## Case Results
