Accused of Fraud? Protect Your Rights and Your Future

Fraud is a complex and serious offense in Florida, involving acts of deception for personal gain—such as credit card fraud, insurance fraud, identity theft, and more. A conviction can result in steep fines, restitution, and lengthy prison time, along with a permanent criminal record that can harm your career and reputation.

Florida law treats fraud as a felony in many cases, and prosecutors are often aggressive in pursuing convictions. Defending against these charges requires careful analysis of financial records, digital evidence, and intent.

If you're facing fraud allegations in Jacksonville, legal representation is critical. A strong defense can uncover flaws in the prosecution’s case and protect your rights at every stage.

Charged with Domestic Violence? Take Immediate Action

Domestic violence is a serious charge in Florida, encompassing physical harm, threats, stalking, or harassment involving a spouse, partner, or household member. A conviction can result in jail time, mandatory counseling, no-contact orders, and even loss of child custody or firearm rights.

Florida law allows police to make an arrest without a warrant if they suspect domestic violence occurred. Even if the alleged victim doesn’t want to press charges, prosecutors can still pursue the case. Once charges are filed, they are rarely dropped without legal intervention.

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

If you’ve been arrested, don’t try to explain or justify your actions 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

In Florida, harassment can involve repeated unwanted contact, threats, or conduct intended to intimidate or alarm another person. These cases often overlap with stalking or cyberharassment and can lead to serious legal consequences—including restraining orders, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.

Because the law focuses on perceived intent and emotional impact, harassment charges often arise from miscommunications or personal disputes. A strong defense involves closely examining the context, communication records, and the credibility of allegations.

If you’ve been charged with harassment in Jacksonville, it's essential to act quickly. Legal representation can mean the difference between conviction and clearing your name.

Protecting Your Child’s Future Starts Today

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 police can be stressful—but being accused of resisting arrest can make matters far worse. In Florida, resisting arrest may involve physical resistance or simply failing to obey a lawful command. This charge can stand alone, even if the original reason for the arrest is dismissed.

Florida law distinguishes between resisting with violence (a felony) and without violence (a misdemeanor). Both carry serious consequences, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record.

Defense strategies may involve proving a lack of intent to resist, challenging the legality of the arrest, or exposing the use of excessive force by law enforcement. These cases often come down to conflicting accounts, so early legal intervention is key.

If you’ve been charged with resisting arrest in Jacksonville, don’t navigate it alone. A strong defense can protect your record and your future.

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

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

A conviction can impact far more than your legal standing. It may jeopardize your job prospects, housing applications, credit opportunities, and future education.

Common defenses include lack of intent, mistaken identity, or procedural errors by store personnel or law enforcement. Early legal intervention can make the difference between a conviction and a clean slate.

If you or a loved one is facing shoplifting charges in Jacksonville, don’t navigate it alone. Understand your rights, explore your options, and fight for your future.

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

In Florida, 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 in Jacksonville, 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 in Florida? 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 in Duval County or anywhere in Florida, early legal guidance can protect your rights and your future.
