    This guy is legit. Most lawyers that do dui cases are trying to rip you for an arm and a half and dont care about you. I can testify that this is not the case for Blecher. He provided honest and fair advice and I would not have been able to fight through this without him!!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a lawyer if I’m being investigated in Miami but haven’t been arrested?
    Yes. An investigation can quickly turn into formal charges. A lawyer can deal directly with detectives, protect you from self-incrimination, and sometimes keep the case from being filed.
  • Should I talk to Miami police—or stay silent until I have a lawyer?
    You have the right to remain silent. Politely tell officers you want to speak with a lawyer before answering questions. Talking without counsel can seriously damage your defense.
  • Can my lawyer go to Miami-Dade court for me, or do I have to appear?
    In many misdemeanor cases and certain hearings, your lawyer can appear on your behalf. For some hearings and all trials, you may have to appear. Your attorney will tell you what’s required.
  • How long does a criminal case usually take in Miami-Dade County?
    It depends on the charge, the court’s schedule, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases resolve in a few months; serious felonies can take a year or more.
  • How does bail/bond work in Miami, and how fast can I get out?
    After arrest, you’ll usually see a judge within about 24 hours. The judge sets bond and any release conditions. Your lawyer can argue for a lower bond or non-monetary release.
