Accused of Fraud? Protect Your Rights and Your Future

Fraud is a serious and complex criminal offense involving acts of deception for personal or financial gain—such as credit card fraud, insurance fraud, identity theft, and more. A conviction can lead to severe penalties, including hefty fines, restitution, lengthy prison sentences, and a permanent criminal record that can damage your career and reputation.

In many jurisdictions, fraud is classified as a felony, and prosecutors often pursue these cases aggressively. Defending against fraud charges requires a detailed analysis of financial records, digital evidence, and the element of intent.

If you’re facing fraud allegations, securing experienced legal representation is essential. A skilled defense attorney can identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenge evidence, and protect your rights every step of the way.

Charged with Domestic Violence? Take Immediate Action

Domestic violence is a serious criminal charge that includes physical harm, threats, stalking, or harassment involving a spouse, partner, or household member. A conviction can lead to jail time, mandatory counseling, no-contact orders, and even the loss of child custody or firearm rights.

In many jurisdictions, law enforcement can arrest a person suspected of domestic violence without a warrant. Even if the alleged victim chooses not to press charges, prosecutors often proceed with the case regardless. Once charges are filed, they are rarely dropped without legal intervention.

Defending against these charges requires a thorough examination of the facts, 911 recordings, witness credibility, and any past history of allegations. False or exaggerated claims are not uncommon in emotionally charged situations.

If you’ve been arrested, do not attempt to explain or defend yourself to police—invoke your right to remain silent and contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. Your future may depend on what you do next.

 Accused of Harassment? Know Your Rights and Defend Your Future

Harassment charges can arise from repeated unwanted contact, threats, or behavior intended to intimidate, alarm, or emotionally distress another person. These cases often overlap with stalking or cyber-harassment and can result in serious legal consequences—including restraining orders, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.

Because the law often focuses on perceived intent and emotional impact, harassment allegations may stem from misunderstandings, miscommunications, or personal disputes. A strong defense requires a careful review of the context, communication history, and the credibility of all involved parties.

If you’ve been accused of harassment, taking swift legal action is essential. The right defense strategy can challenge weak or exaggerated claims and help protect your rights and reputation.

Protecting Your Child’s Future 

When a minor is charged with a crime in Florida, the outcome can affect their future far beyond the courtroom. While the juvenile justice system emphasizes rehabilitation, a conviction may still lead to detention, fines, a criminal record, and long-term consequences in education and employment.

Florida law mandates legal representation for juveniles in most criminal cases. An experienced defense attorney can work to reduce or dismiss charges, advocate for diversion programs, and ensure your child’s rights are protected at every stage.

Common Juvenile Charges Include:

• Underage drinking or possession 
• Drug offenses 
• Theft and vandalism 
• Truancy and curfew violations 
• Disorderly conduct or school-related incidents
   

Navigating the juvenile system is complex—but your child doesn’t have to face it alone. Prompt legal action can make a critical difference in securing a second chance.

Charged with Resisting Arrest? Know the Law—Protect Your Rights

Being stopped by law enforcement can be stressful—but being charged with resisting arrest can make the situation significantly worse. Resisting arrest may involve physical resistance or simply refusing to comply with a lawful order. In many cases, this charge can stand alone, even if the original reason for the arrest is later dismissed.

The law typically distinguishes between resisting with violence (often charged as a felony) and without violence (usually a misdemeanor). Both carry serious consequences, including jail time, fines, and a lasting criminal record.

Effective defense strategies may include demonstrating a lack of intent to resist, questioning the legality of the arrest, or highlighting the use of excessive force by officers. These cases often rely on conflicting accounts, making early legal intervention critical.

If you’re facing a resisting arrest charge, don’t face it alone. The right legal representation can protect your record, your rights, and your future.

Accused of Shoplifting? Don’t Let One Mistake Define Your Future

Shoplifting—legally referred to as “retail theft”—can carry serious penalties, even for first-time offenders. Depending on the value of the items involved, charges may range from a misdemeanor to a felony, with potential consequences including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record.

But the impact doesn’t stop there. A conviction can jeopardize job opportunities, housing applications, credit approvals, and access to education.

Common defenses against shoplifting charges include lack of intent, mistaken identity, or procedural errors by store personnel or law enforcement. Acting quickly and securing experienced legal representation can mean the difference between a conviction and a second chance.

If you or a loved one is facing shoplifting charges, don’t go through it alone. Know your rights, understand your options, and take action to protect your future.

Accused of Making a Threat? Your Words Can Carry Serious Legal Consequences

Making a threat—whether verbal, written, or implied—can lead to a charge of terroristic threats if it causes fear or disrupts public safety. This offense is taken seriously, even when no physical act follows the threat. A conviction may result in felony charges, prison time, significant fines, and a permanent criminal record.

Under Florida law, you may be charged with a terroristic threat if you:

• Threaten violence with the intent to terrorize or cause evacuation of a public space 
• Threaten to kill someone in a way that reasonably makes them fear for their life
   

These offenses are typically classified as third-degree felonies, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. If made during a state of emergency, the charge may be elevated to a second-degree felony—carrying up to 15 years.

Because these cases often rely on interpretation, context, and credibility, they can be complex. They may arise from arguments, misunderstandings, or heated moments—but prosecutors pursue them aggressively, even without the cooperation of the alleged victim.

If you’ve been charged with making terroristic threats, don’t take chances. Your defense must be immediate and strategic. Contact Mollo Law Firm today to protect your future and your freedom.

Charged with Theft? The Consequences Are Serious—So Is Your Defense

Theft crimes in Florida range from petit theft to grand theft and can carry penalties from fines and probation to lengthy prison terms. Even a misdemeanor theft conviction can leave a permanent mark on your record—affecting employment, housing, and reputation.

Florida classifies theft based primarily on the value of the stolen property:

• Petit Theft: Under $300; misdemeanor, up to 1 year in jail 
• Grand Theft (3rd Degree): $300–$20,000; felony, up to 5 years 
• Grand Theft (2nd Degree): $20,000–$100,000; felony, up to 15 years 
• Grand Theft (1st Degree): Over $100,000; felony, up to 30 years
   

• Burglary – Unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime 
• Robbery – Theft involving force or threats 
• Shoplifting – Retail theft, regardless of item value 
• Credit Card Fraud – Unauthorized use of credit card information 
• Receiving Stolen Property – Possession of items known to be stolen 
• Passing Bad Checks – Issuing checks with insufficient funds 
• Theft of Services – Unauthorized use of services (e.g., utilities)
   

Each case depends on intent, evidence, and the accused’s knowledge of ownership. Strong legal defense may involve challenging evidence, proving mistaken identity, or demonstrating lack of criminal intent.

If you’re facing theft charges anywhere in Florida, early legal guidance can protect your rights and your future.
