Orlando Criminal Defense Attorney

Arrested In Orlando? Put A Former Prosecutor In Your Corner.

At The Wiseman Law Firm, our founding attorney is backed by more than a quarter century of proven, trial-tested experience in criminal defense. Attorney Simon Wiseman is a former prosecutor who has successfully handled high-profile cases in criminal courts throughout Central Florida — and he now uses that insider knowledge to craft the strongest possible defense for his clients.

Whatever legal challenge you face, we offer the aggressive and zealous representation you deserve. Our Orlando defense lawyer is known for attention to detail and is endorsed by peers in the legal community for professionalism and excellence. We are top-rated by our clients for the personal attention and results we provide. Don’t hesitate to see how our attorney can help you.

In addition to fighting for our clients’ rights and freedoms in criminal defense matters throughout Orlando, FL, Attorney Wiseman also helps those who have been injured due to negligence seek full and fair compensation through personal injury claims. He is no stranger to high-profile cases and knows how to advocate for clients before deep-pocketed corporations and come away with seven-figure results — proven in negotiations, at trial, and before the media.

Several reasons why you should hire our Orlando attorney include:

  • Former prosecutor advantage: Attorney Wiseman spent years as a state prosecutor in Orlando, learning exactly how the State builds its cases. He now uses that knowledge exclusively to dismantle them on behalf of his clients.
  • Florida Supreme Court track record: Attorney Wiseman has argued before the Florida Supreme Court twice and won both times, creating new legal precedent that continues to benefit defendants across the state.
  • Proven trial results: From winning a mid-trial judgment of acquittal after dismantling the prosecution’s witnesses on cross-examination, to getting a second-degree felony dismissed via motion after over a year of discovery — Attorney Wiseman delivers results other attorneys cannot.
  • Available 24/7: Criminal charges don’t happen on a schedule. Attorney Wiseman is reachable around the clock and responds to clients personally — not through a call center.
  • Representation at every level: From arraignment through trial and appeal, Attorney Wiseman handles every stage of your case himself, providing the focused attention your situation demands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Defense in Orlando

Stay calm, avoid answering questions beyond identifying yourself, and ask to speak with an attorney right away. Anything said to law enforcement before you have legal representation can potentially be used in your case. Contacting an Orlando criminal defense lawyer as early as possible, ideally before your first court appearance, gives your attorney the most time to review the charges and start building your defense.
Misdemeanors generally carry a maximum penalty of up to one year in county jail, while felonies can carry state prison sentences ranging from several years to life, depending on the degree. The classification of a charge affects everything from bond amounts to long-term consequences on your record, so understanding which category your charge falls under is an important first step.
In many cases, yes. Outcomes depend on the strength of the evidence, how the case was investigated, and the specific facts involved. Potential avenues can include challenging the legality of a search, disputing witness credibility, or negotiating with the State Attorney’s Office. An experienced Orlando criminal defense lawyer can review the details of your arrest and identify which defense strategies may apply to your situation.
Cost varies based on the complexity of the charges, whether the case is likely to go to trial, and the amount of pretrial work involved. The Wiseman Law Firm offers free consultations so you can discuss your case and understand your options before making any decisions about representation.
Public defenders are often skilled attorneys, but they typically manage large caseloads that can limit the time available for each client. A private attorney can usually dedicate more individualized attention to your case, from early investigation through trial preparation. This is especially relevant in complex or high-stakes cases where detailed case strategy can make a meaningful difference.
A former prosecutor has seen firsthand how the State builds and presents its cases. Attorney Simon Wiseman spent years as a state prosecutor in Orange County before moving to criminal defense, and he now uses that insider perspective to anticipate the State’s strategy and craft a stronger defense on behalf of his clients.
