Aggravated Battery
Aggravated assault and battery
Under Florida law, felony aggravated assault may be charged separately from a battery charge. Aggravated assault may be charged if the victim feels threatened of physical or emotional injury if the perpetrator acts with criminal intent or knows the actions may cause injury. Aggravated battery, on the other hand, may be charged if there is physical contact with intent to injure. In both instances, ‘intent’ is an important component of the criminal charge.Misdemeanor or ‘simple’ assault or battery may be charged if there is no criminal intent but the actions were sufficient to cause harm or injury. Too often, police arriving at the scene of an altercation charge a person based on the injured party’s say-so, without investigating to determine the circumstances leading to the incident, including acting out of self-defense.
Aggressive Criminal Defense Attorney
Alimony
Alimony was once very common in most divorces in Florida. However, over the past several decades, judges only consider awarding spousal maintenance when it is clear that the divorce will result in a clear financial disadvantage for one of the parties, usually in cases of long-term marriages.

Bond reduction and sentencing
If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony offense – including accepting a plea agreement – you may have been released pending sentencing. Judges in Florida use a standard state sentencing guideline but it is important to have an experienced lawyer fighting on your behalf.Retaining the most experienced attorney is important because the sentencing decision will often come down to the judge listening to psychologists, chemical dependency professionals and other independent specialists to mitigate the sentence.

Child Pornography
If you are under investigation for child pornography, you need a Federal Criminal Defense Attorney immediately. The government will most likely obtain a search warrant and find anything and everything that you have on your computer. All information about IP addresses and all other internet activity will be used discovered, analyzed and as evidence against you if possible. In order to combat the government’s computer experts who will be ready to testify against you we partner with forensic experts who are at the height of their field and often are former FBI or otherwise government trained.
Child custody and visitation
In any divorce or family law matter involving children, emotions are bound to bubble over between the disputing parents. Resolving the matter in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible is critical to the welfare of the child.I am family litigation attorney Michael Celso Gonzalez of Tampa, Florida. If you are facing divorce or find yourself in a dispute over custody, parenting time or child support, call me before the matter gets out of hand. I have years of litigation experience in courts throughout the Tampa Bay area and have earned a reputation as a trusted lawyer who will keep your child’s best interests as the highest priority.

Cyber Crime Defenses
Cyber Crimes
Computer and cyber crimes generally fall into two categories. The first is when a network or a computer is the target of the illegal activity. As industry and the government are increasingly networked and automated, opportunities for illicit gain for individuals with the right skill set present themselves ever more frequently. The second category is when the alleged criminal activity is set in motion and facilitated by a computer. This can include any criminal activity that is accomplished by means of a computer, including simple fraud; production of false identification; reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material; distribution, collection and production of child pornography; and other types of crimes.
Cyber Offense
DUI
If you have been charged with DUI in the Tampa Bay area – Whether your first offense or you have been down this road before – Call Mike G Law in Tampa right away. As a former assistant state attorney, I prosecuted hundreds of drunk driving arrest cases. Since 1993, I have been providing aggressive, effective criminal defense and have helped hundreds of driver’s protect themselves from aggressive prosecution, harsh penalties and loss of driving privileges. Hire an experienced local DUI defense attorney not some firm from out of town that will send a young, wet behind the ears lawyer to handle your case in court. Those carpet bagger law firms from Miami, and southwest Florida do not have as significant of a presence in the courthouse where your case will be handled as local counsel will.

Domestic Violence Misdemeanor
Drug Charges
Federal Drug crimes carry serious penalties and are aggressively prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Penalties for possession with the intent to distribute drugs is based primarily on the weight of the drugs in question.Federal Drug Crimes also makes multiple conspiracy charges a distinct possibility because there are usually several people involved. The amount of drugs can be very small, but prosecutors use the threat of 10, 20 or more years of prison to coerce possible c0-conspirators to flip against others and provide evidence and testimony of questionable veracity. The most common mandatory minimum sentences on Federal Drug Crimes are 5 years or 10 years in federal prison.
Drug Court
Drug courts are a common occurrence in the state of Florida, with 95 such courts throughout the state and more than 6,500 individuals entering the drug court system in 2016. These programs operate on the principle that many offenders with substance abuse problems need treatment for their addiction problems, rather than to serve time in jail.I am attorney Mike G, and I have handled many criminal defense cases involving drug use. My law firm can help you find a diversion program to address your substance abuse issues.
Expungement
If you have ever been arrested or received a summons for a criminal matter in Florida, you have a criminal record. Even if the case was dismissed or the state drops the charges, the legal matter will remain on your public record and available for examination by future employers or anyone else who finds it necessary to review your past.Florida law permits a person to seal or expunge your record only if you were not found guilty or accepted a plea agreement for a conviction and you have no other previous or subsequent arrests on your record.
False allegations of child abuse
Sexual abuse of a child is one of the most stigmatizing accusations that can be made in our society, and rightly so. But a percentage of all child abuse allegations filed are found to be demonstrably false or unsubstantiated.Bitterly contested divorces can give rise to false abuse allegations, and children in conflict with a stepparent, coach, teacher or family friend also may make a false allegation. Regardless of the source of the false allegation of child abuse, if these charges are leveled against you, you must take immediate action to avoid lasting, or even permanent, legal consequences.I am Mike G, and my law firm, Mike G Law, focuses on criminal defense cases, including ones involving false accusations of child abuse in Florida. My decades of experience and my background as a former state prosecutor equip me to defend your rights.

Firearms charges
As a former Assistant State Attorney, I was responsible for investigating, filing, litigating and trying cases involving guns and weapons charges in the Tampa Bay area. In nearly every firearms charge, the case comes down to the police and prosecutor understanding the difference between criminal intent and the individual’s Second Amendment rights. Knowing how both sides of a case work gives me a perspective that other criminal defense lawyers seldom offer. Having worked with many law enforcement agencies allows me to also understand how the police may be looking at you regarding why you own a firearm.

Legal Representation
Mediation
Mediation is a process that allows both parties to be represented by an attorney. The parties meet with a professional mediator to discuss issues that are under dispute. The mediator will explain the law and the way their local judge is likely to decide if the case were to proceed to trial. The parties then meet separately with their legal counsel and propose a settlement. Sessions typically last anywhere from two to four hours and several sessions may be required over several weeks to come up with a proposed settlement. The final proposed settlement is then presented to the presiding judge for review and adjudication. After the judge’s ruling, the proposed settlement becomes a binding judgment.

Probation Violations
It is extremely important to have a good relationship with your probation officer. Technical violations are not required to be reported to the court and filed. Understanding what is expected of you and meeting or exceeding the expectations of your probation officer can make your life far easier. An experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorney like Mike G Law knows what you need to do to complete the probation requirements successfully without needlessly jeopardizing your freedom.
Property Crime Defense Attorney
Property Crimes
Property Settlements
Property settlements in Florida divorces are often as contentious as child custody disputes. After all, this is a state where desirable property can be valued in the millions of dollars and couples bring millions of dollars in wealth and assets along with them when they retire here.If you are concerned about protecting your rights and financial interests in your pending divorce property settlement in Hillsborough County, Pinellas County and communities throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel and Plant City, Florida, call Mike G Law in Tampa.
Rape and Sexual Assault
Rape and sexual assault (known under Florida state law as “sexual battery”) are crimes that the justice system takes very seriously. Sentences for those convicted of sexual offenses start at five years for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and escalate to the death penalty for the rape of a child under age 12 by an adult.I am lawyer Michael C. Gonzalez, and my firm, Mike G. Law, focuses on criminal defense cases, including the defense of clients charged with rape and sexual assault. My background as a former assistant state attorney helps me view your case the way that the prosecutor will see it, and construct a rape and sexual assault defense that will protect your due process rights under the law.
Restraining Orders
It is an unfortunate fact of life that relationship conflicts can bring out the worst in people. If you are named in a restraining order by your spouse or another family member, this is not a situation you can ignore or treat lightly. My firm, Mike G Law, can help you defend yourself against a restraining order and share your side of the situation in court.

Sexual offenses against minors
Florida has strict laws related to sexual offenses against minors. When an adult is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a minor, the situation provokes strong emotional responses that can often result in a rush to judgment.Defending yourself if you have been charged with a sexual offense involving a minor requires an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. I am Mike G, and I have been practicing law in Florida since 1991. My background as a former Assistant State Attorney allows me to evaluate the prosecution’s case against you and to mount a strong defense that protects your rights and your reputation.
Structuring
The government requires that banks report any deposit over $10,000 in cash. The purpose of the law is to identify illegal conduct such as money laundering and drug trafficking. Attempts at avoiding this law by making multiple deposits that are less than $10,000 is called structuring. This is a crime that carries a maximum of five years in federal prison and the forfeiture of assets. If the amount of money structured in a twelve-month period exceeds $100,000 in cash, it will be considered an aggravated charge. The maximum sentence can then be up to ten years.
Substance Abuse
Substantive Probation Violations
For more serious violations your probation officer is required to file a violation and the government will seek to have you sent to prison, possibly for several years, depending on the basis of the violation. However, whether or not you go to prison on a probation violation is up to the judge. Therefore, it is critical that you have an experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorney like Mike G Law to make the best arguments possible and to show all the mitigating evidence in order to persuade the judge that sending you to prison at a huge expense to the tax payers is not the best or appropriate option.
Tampa Criminal Defense
Theft
Police in Gulf Coast Florida know that the majority of theft and property crimes are related to substance abuse and mental health problems. Unfortunately, assistant state attorneys (prosecutors) frequently pursue maximum criminal charges and sentences when aggressively prosecuting these types of cases. It is not uncommon for individuals to face time in jail or prison for misunderstandings about property ownership when treatment options would be a more appropriate resolution to the charges.If you or a loved one in your family is facing a criminal charge for a misdemeanor or felony property crime or theft in Hillsborough County or elsewhere in the Tampa Bay area, call Mike G Law in Tampa. As a former prosecutor, I know how the state attorney’s office prepares and prosecutes property cases.

Many Americans are grateful to our military personnel for their service to our country. However, veterans can return from their tour of duty with combat-related challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse problems and mental health conditions. Sometimes, the struggle to reintegrate into civilian life can cause behavior that results in criminal charges.Former military service persons facing a serious charge may qualify for Florida’s Veterans Court program. I am criminal defense attorney Mike G, and my firm, Mike G Law, has worked with many veterans. I have been able to turn around cases labeled “dead end” by others, and facilitate my clients receiving treatment that allows them to rejoin their local community in a positive way.
Violent Crimes
White-Collar Crimes
false allegations of domestic violence
It is an age-old tactic in child custody disputes to go for the throat by accusing the other parent of child abuse, neglect or other act of domestic violence. The strategy, of course, was to hope the family welfare specialists and judge would be led to believe the child would be in danger if allowed to live with the abusive parent. The tactic used to be used frequently because, well, it often worked. Fortunately, courts have caught on and false allegations against the other party can often backfire and even result in civil damages against the fraudulent party.
false allegations of sexual violence
Rape and other forms of sexual violence are wrong. However, it is possible for an individual to be faced with false allegations of sexual offenses. If you find yourself in such a case, you will need an experienced criminal defense attorney who can aggressively represent your rights in court.My name is Michael C. Gonzalez. My firm, Mike G. Law, defends clients in the Tampa Bay area facing false allegations of sexual violence. My tenure as a former assistant state attorney for Florida enables me to understand how the prosecution may construct its case against you.

First time facing the law in my life. Alone and confused, I needed to find someone to guide me in this situation. That by ignorance stole my peace of mind. , I decided to send messages to several lawyers; And his response was quick. After several questions; perceived experience. Which calmed my thinking, because I visited the Lawyer office next day. So it was, he received me and showed support immediately. After verifying my case, I oriented myself. He gave me support when he told me: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you. Just take care of what you went through.” And so I have found the best solution for my case. Which helped me to continue my life: I work, I share with my family every day. I give it 5 stars and I would give it more. And if I needed legal help, I would not hesitate to call them again. Thank you.
