How Can We Help?
Leveraging Former Prosecutorial Insight to Defend Your Liberty
Attorney Jonathan Blecher spent years working as an Assistant State Attorney in Miami-Dade County. Because he has sat on both sides of the courtroom, our lawyer understands how the state evaluates files, prepares witnesses, and decides which cases to push to trial versus which ones to settle. That insider experience provides our clients with a distinct advantage, and we put it to work for you from day one.
Rather than waiting for your first court date, we audit police reports, breathalyzer maintenance logs, and witness statements to spot procedural errors or constitutional violations. By identifying weaknesses in the state’s case early on, we negotiate from a position of strength and advocate for the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Over 3,000 DUI Cases Defended in South Florida
When you’re facing a drunk driving charge, experience matters. Because DUI charges involve complex chemical testing and strict law enforcement protocols, you need a legal advocate who has seen it all.

Jonathan Blecher is a miracle worker. I was arrested for a DUI in January 2025, did not blow, and was in the middle of a trauma blackout wherein I wasn’t the most pleasant person with the police. The case would have probably lost at trial.
I was defending myself, and Jonathan reached out when I contacted several referral services. (The other attorney who contacted me through the referral service was a jerk from Sarasota who belittled me and tried pressuring me to give him upwards of $8,500)
Although climbing Everest might have been easier than convincing a jury this arse was actually innocent- we decided to give it a shot.
For a very reasonable fee, Jonathan was able to get the charge reduced to a reckless, 6 mo probation, and no license resuspension. I am a tough pill to swallow at times, but Jonathan stuck with me and made a miracle happen. He even quipped that he’s never had a client quite like me.
Jonathan is professional and has the experience of being a past ASA.

I was searching the internet for information regarding a denial to purchase a firearm and came across this firms site. Due to a minor problem with reading the article, I texted them to let them know of the issue. Well, I then received a call within minuets from Jonathan; he forwarded the site info to the webmaster. He then asked what I was looking for and I explained the denial issue. We talked for about 10 min and he gave me some good info and sent me to FDLE to get a Background check and look into the reasons why. I never had a lawyer help me out without asking for money first! If I were in Florida and needed help on anything, I believe he would be my go-to guy! 5 stars, brother!!!- Gary

Recommend him for anybody looking for a lawyer. Thank you- Ignacio

I've know Jonathan for over 10 years now. We met when I was living in Miami and needed a defense attorney on a potential criminal traffic matter. I can say, Jonathan is the best that you could every hire. He is quick, he knows Florida statutes, he has the connections, and he is relentless in representation. The only thing I can say about Jonathan is amazing! He represented me, during a very difficult time in my life, and took care of the details. This is a man I will always have the highest respect for.....always! You walk the talk and represent your client as top priority! Glad we have defense lawyers like you.- Carter
