Criminal Defense

Getting arrested and charged with a crime is a scary and intimidating experience at every turn, from being handcuffed and taken to jail, to appearing before a judge, to being questioned by police and district attorneys. With an experienced defense lawyer on your side, you don’t need to feel scared or intimidated. We explain the process to you so you know what to expect, and we provide strong, forceful advocacy on your behalf at every stage. Our St. Augustine criminal lawyers are former prosecutors with years of experience on both sides of the courtroom. We know Florida criminal law inside and out and are intimately familiar with the procedures in the courts of St. Johns County. Our lawyers handle the full range of felony and misdemeanor defense in St. Augustine, including assault, DUI, drug crimes, sex offenses, theft offenses and white-collar crime. If you’ve been charged with a criminal offense in St. Augustine, Albaugh Law Firm is the place to turn for practical advice and strategic representation tailored to achieve the best result in your particular situation.

Family Law

Family law matters hit close to home. A divorce does more than just dissolve a marriage; it decides issues such as child custody (parenting and timesharing) and visitation, alimony, and child support – matters that continue to impact the family for years to come. It’s essential to get these matters decided right the first time, whether through a negotiated agreement, mediation, or litigation in court. Whether your divorce is amicable or hotly contested, our St. Augustine family lawyers provide assertive representation to resolve all matters efficiently and effectively. Our divorce lawyers are here for you post-divorce as well, protecting your rights and representing your interests in a modification, relocation request or contempt proceeding.

Bankruptcy Law

Too many people are living on the edge these days, living month-to-month and struggling to pay their bills. Any job loss, severe illness or unexpected expense is enough to push families over the brink, putting their bills far out of reach. If you see yourself heading toward a financial cliff, don’t wait to fall off and then look around for a parachute. Our St. Augustine bankruptcy lawyers can help you now, as we’ve helped numerous clients before you. Let us help you wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start in Chapter 7, or get clear of debt while saving your home from foreclosure in Chapter 13. Our St. Augustine debt relief attorneys will defend you against a wrongful foreclosure or help you avoid foreclosure entirely through a short sale or loan modification. You have options. One call puts an immediate halt to repossessions, foreclosures, lawsuits, and the constant harassment and threats of creditors and bill collectors. Call our St. Augustine bankruptcy law firm today, before you spend another sleepless night in worry and anxiety.

Personal Injury

If you’ve been injured because of another’s negligence, incompetence or intentional misconduct, you have the right to pursue them for compensation for the damage they’ve inflicted on you, including your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The burden falls on you, however, to prove your claim against them. That means proving their negligence caused your harm and proving the amount of compensation they owe you. Negligent defendants and their insurance companies, meanwhile, fight back to limit what they have to pay or avoid liability altogether if they can. They’ll downplay and dispute how severely you were injured, and they’ll try to shift blame for the accident on you instead. You need strong representation to beat back those defenses and prove your case.

At Albaugh Law Firm, our St. Augustine personal injury attorneys know the law, and we know how to prepare and present a compelling case to the insurance company, judge or jury. Our trial experience means we are ready to take your case to court and win. It also means the insurance company would rather settle than face us in court. Florida law might limit your ability to sue after a car accident or hold a hospital fully accountable for medical malpractice. Let our team pursue maximum compensation on your behalf after a personal injury accident in St. Augustine, including motorcycle crashes and truck wrecks, slip & fall and premises liability accidents, dog bites, nursing home abuse, wrongful death, and more. You were hurt through no fault of your own. We’ll seek justice on your behalf and work tirelessly to get it.
