Complex Criminal Case Representation in Florida State and Federal Courts
People facing serious criminal charges or an investigation into criminal activity need an attorney who will move quickly, focus on the case and work every angle. There is no substitute for an experienced defense lawyer — one who has handled many comparable cases and made a difference through a combination of deep legal knowledge and competitive drive.
Twenty-Five Years of Experience in Negotiations and at Trial
I am Jacksonville state and federal criminal defense attorney Richard Landes, an aggressive, passionate defender who has handled a vast range of criminal cases — and tried many to verdict.
I have practiced law in Florida since 1995, but my experience runs much deeper, with four years as a prosecuting Assistant District Attorney in New York City and 20-plus years as an active trial attorney focused on high-stakes white collar cases, serious drug crimes and other charges with the potential for lengthy prison sentences and other life-changing consequences.
My constant goal is helping the people I represent avoid criminal convictions or otherwise prevent irreparable damage to their lives, families and futures. Two of my favorite words in the English language are "not guilty," and I prepare every case for trial while always standing ready to negotiate from a position of strength.
