Landes Criminal Defense Law Firm is a Jacksonville-based legal practice specializing exclusively in criminal defense, renowned for its aggressive trial advocacy and deep expertise in both state and federal courts. Led by attorney Richard Landes, a former New York City prosecutor with over 25 years of experience, the firm stands out for its personalized approach and commitment to securing “not guilty” verdicts for clients facing serious charges.
The firm prepares every case for trial while leveraging its extensive background in prosecution and defense to negotiate from a position of strength. It focuses on representing individuals under investigation or charged with crimes that carry severe penalties, including prison time and life-altering consequences. Clients benefit from direct access to experienced attorneys, avoiding case delegation to junior lawyers or paralegals.
