Felonies (Crimes punishable by more than a year in prison)
If you have been charged with a felony, it is essential that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to zealously defend you in court. Felonies are the most serious crimes — such as murder, rape, armed robbery, credit card fraud and burglary. Felony convictions also have the most serious consequences.  A person convicted of a felony can be sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison, and may be committed for life. In addition, convicted felons are stripped of many of the rights guaranteed to American citizens, including the right to vote, the right to travel out of the country and the right to own a gun. Convicted felons also have to disclose their crimes on job applications and can be deported if they are not American citizens.

How your felony will change you life may be based on how the charge is defended.  Chris has more than 20 years of experience handling felony charges and is committed to attaining the best possible outcome for you.

Misdemeanors (Offenses punishable by up to one year in jail)
Misdemeanors are crimes such as driving under the influence, domestic violence battery, disorderly conduct, simple assault, shoplifting and trespassing that are punishable by less than a year in prison. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, having a misdemeanor conviction on your criminal record can limit your employment options and can result in a jail sentence. Domestic violence offenses have special consequences.  Ensure that you receive a fair trial by letting Christopher L. Rabby, represent you.

Sex Offender Registration Removal, Romeo and Juliet
Florida has a unique “Romeo and Juliet Law” wherein individuals, in certain circumstances, can petition the Court for removal from the sex offender registry.  This includes removal of “Sex Offender” from a Florida Driver license.  Clients on the sex offender registry can be subjected to a lifetime of public scrutiny.  Their information can be easily accessed on several web sites, including the FDLE: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us

Romeo and Juliet removal is sometimes an option for convicted offenders as
well as an option to prohibit those with pending charges from being placed on
the list.  It generally applies to younger offenders, separated by less than four years of age from the victim of a certain age, and other requirements.  Christopher L. Rabby, P.A.  was one of the first firms in Florida to be successful with sex offender registration removal.  Please contact Chris Rabby to discuss the specific facts of your case to see if you qualify for relief.

Collateral Issues, Cases and Understanding
There are a great many issues that can arise from an arrest or criminal prosecution, including an Injunction, Divorce, and/or Dependency Case(s). Chris Rabby has experience in these matters and can assist with them.  There may also be driver license suspensions, criminal justice system “traps,” employment and professional ramifications, and personal and family relationship deterioration(s).  There is always the stress of being involved in litigation.

Representation with Respect
The focus of Attorney Chris Rabby, is representation with respect to and for the individual client, to insure the court sees the real person and to make certain a client is always treated in and out of Court as a person, not a file. The criminal justice system turns a person can into a file. For example, he’s a “cocaine conspiracy,” a “domestic battery,” or a “DUI,” and she’s a “possession with intent.” Due to the high numbers of cases, it is easy for the prosecutor or judge to lose sight of the individual and see the person as the offense for which they are charged. Respect means explaining the charges, evidence, and system to each client, and not just telling a them what they want to hear.
