Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
Every year, hundreds of young men are wrongfully accused of date rape in Florida. What is often a case of misunderstanding between consenting adults ends up becoming false accusations based on anger.
Fraud
Black’s Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004) defines fraud as “a knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment.” The injury in fraud is usually depriving a person of money or other property that rightfully belongs to that person. Fraud crimes are classified according to the type of transaction in which the deception occurred. Fraud is a serious and broadly defined criminal offense. Criminal fraud is a charge that can be brought against a business, as well as against an individual (a business cannot be put in prison, but can be hit with substantial fines). A charge of fraud — let alone a conviction — can ruin the reputation of a person or company charged. Zealous legal representation is critical in fraud cases, as in all criminal cases. It is critical for an accused to seek help from an experienced white collar criminal defense attorney.
Robbery
During his nearly four years as an attorney with the Public Defender’s Office in Dade County, Daniel Aaronson represented thousands of clients with over a hundred of the cases going to trial by either Judge or jury. As a felony trial attorney, Mr. Aaronosn represented clients charged with any type of felony from possession of drugs to grand theft to robbery to sexual battery and even second degree murder.
Burglary
Benjamin, Aaronson, Edinger & Patanzo. P.A. located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bring more than 60 years of combined experience to defending people against charges of theft burglary stolen property and other property crimes. Our firm is recognized for our commitment to integrity and willingness to fight aggressively to help our clients avoid jail time. Because our attorneys have extensive experience as prosecutors and public defenders, we know how State’s Attorneys throughout South Florida are likely to prepare their case against you. We understand the strategies that will give you the best opportunity to have your charges reduced to a misdemeanor, if possible, or dropped altogether, if the prosecutor does not have a strong case.
White Collar Crimes
A: White collar crime is a term originally used to describe criminal activity by members of the upper class in connection with their professions. Today, the most common definition of white collar crime no longer focuses on the social status of the offender but rather on the type of conduct involved: illegal acts using deceit and concealment to obtain money, property or services, or to secure a business or professional advantage. White collar crimes are usually not violent, but their effects can be just as devastating.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Penalties for being convicted of a crime can range from a small fine for a misdemeanor to substantial prison time or even death for serious felonies. Amendment 6 of the U.S. Constitution provides for your rights in a criminal prosecution specifically the right to have legal representation.
Embezzlement
In many cases of fraud or embezzlement, the prosecutors are much more interested in restitution than jail time. We work hard to prepare a defense case that will protect your future. We are often able to work out repayment deals with penalties that do not include jail time.
Drug Crimes
Under Florida law, a conviction for felony drug possession of marijuana can mean a prison sentence. A federal felony conviction for just five grams of crack cocaine can mean a mandatory sentence of five years. State and federal prosecutors are serious about felony drug possession charges in Florida. If you have been charged, you need aggressive, effective representation to protect your future.
Assault
In our experience, there are more people wrongfully charged with domestic violence than any other crime. Whenever police are called to the scene of a family dispute, there is likely to be one person removed from the home and placed under arrest for domestic assault. Often, domestic violence and spousal abuse are charged as an act of emotional revenge, when one of the spouses becomes angry or frustrated about something that occurred in the relationship.
Murder
Murder, first-degree: The government must prove that you killed another person with malice aforethought (premeditation) or a death occurred in the commission of a felony. First degree murder carries the death sentence in Florida and on the federal level.
Juvenile Crimes
Probation Violation
Benjamin, Aaronson, Edinger & Patanzo. P.A. located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have been helping people fight charges of parole and probation violations in South Florida. Our attorneys have experience on both sides of the probation violation issue. Senior attorney James Benjamin and associate attorney Peter Patanzo are former prosecutors for Broward County, Florida. Senior attorney Daniel Aaronson is a former public defender in Miami-Dade County, Florida, with many years of experience helping probation violation offenders stay out of jail.
Identity Theft
There really is no criminal charge that specifies “white collar crime.” A white collar crime is typically thought of as any criminal act committed by business executives, professionals and elected officials for financial gain, without physical injury or harm to another person or property. Internet fraud, bank embezzlement and identity theft are examples of white collar crimes in which there may not be any actual physical contact with the victim. The government must prove, through the use of forensic accounting, bank records, tax returns and other financial and accounting evidence, that a crime has been committed for financial gain.
Homicide
Under the laws of the state of Florida, murder, homicide and manslaughter are defined as the act of taking the life of another human being. Whether your act was premeditated or the result of criminal negligence depends upon the circumstances, including your own mental and physical condition. Whatever the charges may be, if you are charged with any crime involving causing the death of another person, you need experienced legal defense.
Shoplifting
Forgery
Money Laundering
If you have been charged with a RICO crime, or think you may be under investigation for a crime, the time to talk with an experienced attorney is right now. Contact us to learn more about our experience in the area of defense for money laundering, racketeering and other federal RICO charges.
Manslaughter
Manslaughter, first-degree: The government must prove that your act, committed without malicious intent or premeditation, resulted in the death of the victim.
Internet Crimes
The lawyers of Benjamin, Aaronson, Edinger & Patanzo. P.A. located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, know that Internet crime is often about First Amendment rights. Many people charged with crimes such as child solicitation, child pornography and other sex crimes in the privacy of their own home are not even aware that they are doing anything illegal. At the law firm of Benjamin, Aaronson, Edinger & Patanzo. P.A. our attorneys believe that it is not a crime to be an adult and engage in legal adult activities in America. We are strong protectors of the First Amendment rights of adult entertainment businesses and individuals who engage in legal activities.
Prostitution
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you should be made aware that you are facing not only criminal charges, but also the court of public opinion. There are few crimes that draw such negative reaction as sex crimes, including sexual battery, prostitution and solicitation. When you are up against sex crimes charges, it may seem as if there is no place to turn for a lawyer who truly wants to help.
Extortion
On the criminal side, Mr. Aaronson’s victories are too numerous to catelog and chronical. Along with his partner, James Benjamin, he has represented several high profile clients. When Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Cary Cass Keno was charged with extortion in an alleged attempt to force a candidate out of the race, he called on the law firm of Benjamin & Aaronson. Mr. Keno’s trust in Daniel Aaronson and James Benjamin was not misplaced as after a several day trial, Commissioner Keno was found not guilty of all charges. When candidate for Davie City Councilman, Wayne Arnold ran for office it was alleged that he did not live in the district where he was running from, he called on Daniel Aaronson to represent him. Again, in that matter Mr. Aaronson was successful and the court ruled that Mr. Arnold could in fact run for office. When the City of Davie Mayor Harry Venis was investigated by law enforcement, he also turned to the law firm of Benjamin & Aaronson, who successfully defended Mr. Venis proving that no charges deserved to be filed.
