A Felony Charge is the Most Serious Legal Battle You Will Ever Face.

You may have made a life-changing mistake, or perhaps you’ve been caught in a situation that has spiraled out of control. When the State of Florida elevates a charge to a felony, they are no longer just looking to penalize you. They are looking to take away your freedom for years, or even decades. Whether you have a clean record or have faced the court before, a felony charge demands immediate, aggressive action.

At Izquierdo Law Firm, we don’t just “handle” felony cases; we fight them with everything we have. Voted Miami-Dade’s Favorite Criminal Defense Lawyer in 2024 & 2025, Daniel Izquierdo is trusted by the community to stand between his clients and the harshest penalties the law can provide. You are a good person facing a difficult time, and you deserve a defense that is as serious as the charges against you.

The Severe, Life-Long Consequences of a Felony Conviction

In Florida, felonies are categorized by degrees, but all of them carry the potential for prison time rather than simple county jail. Beyond the immediate threat of incarceration, a felony conviction follows you forever. It is a permanent mark that can strip you of your basic civil rights and your ability to provide for your family.

If convicted of a felony in Miami-Dade, you face:

  • Lengthy Prison Sentences: Ranging from five years to life in state prison.

  • Hefty Financial Penalties: Fines that can reach $10,000 or more.

  • Loss of Civil Rights: The loss of your right to vote and your right to own or possess a firearm.

  • Career Destruction: The automatic revocation of many professional licenses and permanent disqualification from many employment sectors.

  • Housing Barriers: Many landlords and management companies refuse to rent to individuals with a felony record.

Felony Cases Our Miami-Dade Law Firm Defends

The Izquierdo Law Firm, P.A., represents individuals across Florida facing a wide array of high-stakes felony allegations. Daniel Izquierdo provides a meticulous, vigorous defense for charges including:

  • Drug Trafficking and Possession: While some drug crimes are misdemeanors, possession of larger quantities or the intent to distribute can lead to mandatory minimum prison sentences.

  • Aggravated Battery and Assault: Charges involving a deadly weapon or the intent to cause serious bodily harm are treated with extreme severity by Florida prosecutors.

  • Grand Theft and Burglary: Taking property valued at $750 or more, or entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime, can lead to years of imprisonment.

  • Felony DUI: If you have prior convictions or a DUI resulted in serious bodily injury, what was once a “mistake” becomes a major felony.

  • White Collar Crimes: Complex cases involving organized fraud, large-scale embezzlement, or racketeering (RICO) charges.

  • Firearm Offenses: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon or carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Protecting Non-Citizens from Felony Consequences

For non-citizens, a felony charge is not just a threat to your liberty, it is a threat to your life in this country. Florida’s legal system can be unforgiving, and the immigration consequences of a “Crime Involving Moral Turpitude” (CIMT) or an “Aggravated Felony” are often automatic.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and are facing felony charges, a conviction could lead to:

  • Permanent Inadmissibility: Being barred from ever re-entering the United States.

  • Mandatory Detention: Being held by ICE without the possibility of bond.

  • Deportation: Forcible removal from your home and family.

Daniel Izquierdo works tirelessly to minimize the “crimmigration” impact of your case, striving for outcomes that protect both your criminal record and your immigration status.
