Criminal Defense
Federal Criminal Defense
If you're charged with a federal crime in Florida, you'll face a potentially harsh federal prison sentence. As experienced federal defense attorneys, we're committed to launching an aggressive defense to fight for your acquittal.
Federal judges have a fair amount of discretion when determining how much time you'll serve if you’re found guilty. Your defense attorney plays a key role in convincing the judge to sentence you to the least amount of time possible. At The Law Offices of Robert David Malove, we take your freedom seriously and will fight for the best possible outcome of your federal criminal case.
Criminal Appeals
You may feel hopeless after hearing a guilty verdict and being sentenced to time in prison, but there's a chance you can fight the conviction and win back your freedom.
It’s important to understand the trial you have just been through is simply a step in the judicial process. If your rights were violated in any way, you still have the opportunity to appeal the decision and possibly overturn your conviction.
However, to do this, you need a law firm with experience in the appellate process to review your case and design your appeal. Even if the lawyer who represented you at trial doesn’t think you have grounds for an appeal, it's worth having the Law Offices of Robert David Malove review your case and discuss your options with you. Contact our experienced appellate attorneys as soon as possible. If we can help you overturn an unjust conviction, we will
Post-Conviction Relief
If your original criminal defense attorney failed in his or her duty to provide you with the best possible representation and you were convicted and sentenced as a result, you may have grounds for post-conviction relief. This is a complicated area of the law, and you will need an experienced legal team on your side. Contact the post-conviction attorney at The Law Offices of Robert David Malove.
Under Florida law, there are several motions that can be filed on your behalf to correct or vacate an unfair judgment. Our post-conviction relief team can review your case and your trial and determine if you might be eligible for such a motion. If you feel like the criminal justice system let you down and that your rights were violated, contact attorney Robert Malove as soon as possible. If his team can help, they will!

It’s possible you were the victim of an illegal search and seizure, or maybe you were caught with someone else’s drugs. The police won't be interested in your story, but our drug defense attorneys are. We believe everyone deserves a second chance. We also believe law enforcement officers need to be held to the standards they swore to abide by. If you were arrested for drug possession, dealing, or trafficking, call experienced Drug Defense Attorneys as soon as possible so they can start fighting for you.
Expungement
If you're arrested for DUI, domestic assault, drug possession, or other criminal charge and had the charges dropped or dismissed; or you were found not guilty, it doesn’t seem fair that employers, creditors, or schools can still see the charges when they do a criminal background check, but that’s exactly what can happen. Attorney Robert Malove may have a solution for you.
In the state of Florida, arrest records can be either sealed or expunged under certain circumstances. A sealed record is placed under highly-restricted access while an expunged record is removed from records systems or files and destroyed.
Are you eligible for one of these options? Get in touch with the criminal defense team in our Fort Lauderdale office to find out.
