Building a Strong Case
Over the years, we have recovered millions of dollars for injury victims through settlements, arbitration awards, and jury verdicts.
Our thorough approach starts with investigating how the accident happened. We independently gather evidence, take witness statements, consult with experts, and build the strongest possible case.
We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means no attorney fees unless we obtain compensation for you. If we don’t win, you pay nothing.
Criminal Defense Cases
Facing criminal charges can be frightening. The prospect of steep fines, years behind bars, and a permanent criminal record is not one to take lightly. Whether you are under investigation or have already been arrested, time is of the essence in building an effective defense.
We are top St. Petersburg criminal defense lawyers, and our criminal defense team is here to protect your rights every step of the way.
- Drug crimes

Shoplifting, embezzlement, burglary, robbery, and property crimes. We aim to keep you out of jail.
Violent Crimes
Homicide, assault, domestic violence, and sex crimes. Our top priority is avoiding severe sentencing.

Sex Offenses
Solicitation, prostitution, indecent exposure. We fight to avoid sex offender registration.
Examining the Evidence
Our defense starts with examining the quality of the evidence being used against you. Police misconduct such as improper searches, false confessions, misleading eyewitness identifications, and more can be grounds for evidence dismissal.
We leave no stone unturned in investigating your case and uncovering every possible defense strategy.
Plea Bargaining and Going to Trial
Going to trial is not always the best option in criminal cases. We regularly negotiate favorable plea bargains, pretrial diversions, and deferred prosecutions to protect our clients’ futures.
If charges cannot be dismissed, we work relentlessly to minimize penalties and avoid jail time through alternative sentencing. For eligible cases, we pursue record expungement after the fact to clear charges from background checks.
Legal Fees
At Miksis Law, we typically work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and certain criminal defense cases. Contingency fees empower accident victims and criminal defendants to pursue justice without worrying about hourly rates and legal bills.
