An arrest, warrant, criminal investigation, or probation allegation can create immediate questions about custody, bond, court dates, release conditions, and what the State may do next.
Someone may still be in jail while a family member searches for help. Another person may have been released but remain uncertain about written court restrictions, an upcoming hearing, a police interview, or the charge prosecutors may ultimately file.
The Florida Criminal Defense Command Center provides statewide criminal defense resources and attorney connections for people seeking independent counsel in Florida.
The connection process confirms basic information about the request and case location. When the connection criteria are met and coverage is available, the caller may be connected with an independent licensed Florida criminal defense lawyer serving the relevant county.
FCDCC is a legal marketing and attorney connection service, not a law firm. The independent lawyer determines legal advice, fees, case acceptance, and representation.

The Florida Criminal Defense Command Center provides statewide criminal defense resources and attorney connections for people facing misdemeanor and felony allegations in Florida.
The resources below cover several common charge categories, but they are not a complete list of the criminal matters for which a caller may request a lawyer connection. A person facing another Florida criminal charge, warrant, investigation, probation allegation, or related court matter may still contact the Command Center.
Select the resource that most closely matches the alleged offense. Each page provides focused information about the charge, evidence, court process, and defense issues that may require review.
The charge listed during an arrest may not be the final charge the prosecutor files.
For an overview of how counsel can assess evidence, address court restrictions, and explain defense options, visit our Florida criminal defense lawyer page.
Do not see the allegation listed? You may still request a connection for another Florida criminal matter. Availability depends on the case type, location, and independent counsel.
