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.

Real Clients, Real Testimonials

Mr. Chapman, I want to thank you for all your time, effort, and good counsel given in the cases of Gonzalo C., both in the State court and in the Federal court. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail, the phone calls, the jail visits, and the interviews with Gonzalo’s wife and her nephew, all done to completely familiarize yourself with his cases. The charges and the facts were irrefutable, and a not-guilty plea was not an option. Nonetheless, though he was facing prison time as well as a large fine, through legal expertise and persuasive negotiating, you succeeded in securing his time served and one-year supervision. Thank you and well done.
William G. Taylor
