Gainesville Criminal Defense Lawyer

Expert Criminal Defense Attorneys in Gainesville

Whether you are facing a first-time charge or have a past record, one reality remains: you need a trusted advocate who will protect your rights and craft a strong defense on your behalf.

At the Law Office of Edwards, Jones & Doll, we are both seasoned negotiators and proven trial lawyers. We are prepared to protect you at the bargaining table or launch an aggressive defense in the courtroom.

Your Strongest Bargaining Chip

We approach every case with a trial-ready mindset because your strongest asset against the State is your right to a jury trial. The existence of a jury keeps the justice system honest. Without it, prosecutors and judges wouldn’t answer to anyone.

"I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution." — Thomas Jefferson

Most criminal cases end in a plea deal. However, unless you have a seasoned trial attorney on your side, you lose your leverage before your defense even begins. You want an attorney with a track record of recent trial accomplishments.

Don't face the prosecution alone. Contact the Law Office of Edwards, Jones & Doll today for a confidential consultation with a criminal defense attorney in Gainesville.

"Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services."
I hired Mr. Jones to represent my son. We had never had to hire a lawyer and I was anxious. Mr. Jones took the time to explain what was happening and it helped lessen my concerns. Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services.

"It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville."
I had the pleasure of having Mr. Edwards represent me in 2006. While I was charged with a crime, Mr. Edwards insisted sternly that he was very confident he could successfully defend the charges against me. This man exudes confidence. It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville. You can't go wrong with Mr. Edwards!!!

"He put his heart into that case."
I first hired Thomas Edwards to defend me and my daughter in the early 1990s. He put his heart into that case. Of all the attorneys in the state of Florida, he would be the one I would call if the need for an attorney ever arose again.
