Criminal Cases We Defend
Our practice covers a wide range of criminal matters. Whether you’ve been accused of a DUI, drug crime, violent offense, or white-collar violation, we approach every case with attention to detail, a personalized defense strategy, and an unwavering commitment to our clients.
DUI – If you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence, you need a seasoned West Palm Beach DUI lawyer who understands how to navigate both the criminal court system and the administrative proceedings with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. DUI cases involve complex legal and scientific evidence, from roadside tasks and breathalyzer results to blood draws and accident reports. Monica Ishak is well-versed in identifying procedural errors, unlawful traffic stops, and improper testing procedures that can make the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
DRUG CHARGES – Our firm also represents clients charged with drug possession, sales, trafficking, and manufacturing. Whether the charge involves marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or controlled prescription medications, we closely examine the legality of searches, warrants, and police conduct to protect your rights.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE – Domestic violence allegations can disrupt families and lead to lasting consequences, including restraining orders, jail time, and impacts on custody and employment. Monica Ishak has successfully defended individuals against charges of domestic battery, assault, stalking, and threats, fighting aggressively for dismissals, reduced charges, and acquittals. If you are in need of an experienced criminal lawyer handling domestic violence cases in West Palm Beach, call The Ishak Law Firm.
THEFT AND PROPERTY CHARGES – For those facing theft and property crime charges, including shoplifting, burglary, grand theft, or robbery, our defense strategies focus on challenging the prosecution’s evidence, questioning witness credibility, and uncovering mitigating factors that can influence the outcome of your case.
VIOLENT & HOMICIDE CHARGES – Assault and battery cases — particularly those involving weapons or serious bodily injury — require a skilled attorney who understands how to raise defenses like self-defense, defense of others, or mutual combat. Monica Ishak has extensive experience handling these emotionally charged cases and fighting for favorable resolutions.
When it comes to violent crimes and homicide charges, experience and aggressive advocacy are essential. Cases involving aggravated assault, armed robbery, attempted murder, or homicide require intensive investigations, forensic analysis, and a comprehensive legal strategy. The Ishak Law Firm, P.A. has the knowledge and resources to confront these charges head-on and pursue every available avenue of defense.
WHITE COLLAR – Our firm is also equipped to handle complex white-collar crimes, including embezzlement, fraud, money laundering, insider trading, and tax evasion. These cases demand a meticulous, detail-oriented approach, and Monica Ishak has a proven track record of uncovering procedural flaws and negotiating favorable outcomes for clients whose careers and reputations are on the line.
FIREARM CHARGES – Gun and firearm offenses carry significant penalties in Florida, particularly when involving unlawful possession, carrying a firearm without a permit, or the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime. At The Ishak Law Firm, P.A., we conduct thorough investigations that may raise search and seizure issues and other defenses that can be critical in these high-stakes cases.
VIOLATIONS OF PROBATION – If you’ve been accused of violating probation, swift action is crucial. Monica Ishak works quickly to contest alleged violations, negotiate alternatives to incarceration, and fight for probation reinstatement or modifications to protect your freedom.
