Location Information

About Ron Chapman practices criminal defense in both State and Federal Courts within the State of Florida. Since 1990, Mr. Chapman has been representing people who have been accused of committing various types of crimes such as DUI, domestic battery, economic crimes, animal abuse, traffic crimes, murder, manslaughter, crimes against children, sex crimes, crimes against the elderly, appeals, and violations of probation.

However, it is not necessary for you to wait until you have actually been charged with a crime before hiring Mr. Chapman. If you hire him while the police and prosecutor’s office are still investigating your case, Mr. Chapman may be able to intervene on your behalf in order to help prevent charges from ever being filed against you in the first place.

If you hire Mr. Chapman, he will do all of the following things for you:

  • Investigate the prosecutor’s case against you.
  • Speak with your witnesses.
  • Present legal motions to the judge.
  • Investigate your defenses.
  • Represent you at your trial.
  • Try to get the best possible result for you.

If your case does go to trial, you will need a lawyer with trial experience. Mr. Chapman has had over 500 jury trials and hearings since starting his practice in 1990. However, some people who have been charged with a crime want to resolve their legal problem without a trial. If that describes you, Mr. Chapman will try to resolve your case in that manner if possible.

Finally, because Mr. Chapman is a sole practitioner, you will be dealing directly with him and not simply with a member of his staff.

Contact Ronald Chapman online or call him at his office at (561) 832-4348 or si hablas Español llames (561) 236-1021. Mr. Chapman offers a free consultation to discuss your legal needs.

Real Clients, Real Testimonials

In the month of December 2015 I had to go to Court. That's when I contacted Attorney Ron Chapman and his assistant Elizabeth Amaro. I was feeling very desperate and disoriented. I can assure you it was a joy to have found them and known them. From the moment that I talked to Attorney Chapman and Ms. Elizabeth for the first time I commenced to restore security and hope that everything could be solved and it was. They went to Court with me, and my case was dismissed. For that reason I would like to thank them once again for their kind attention and professionalism and all the good work with my case and thus recommend Attorney Chapman because of his knowledge in the field of criminal law and for good client service.
