Richard G. Lubin heads the firm. He has been practicing criminal law for 40 years. Richard is nationally recognized as one of the premier defense attorneys in the country. Our Firm represents citizens and corporations in state and federal courts during the investigation stage and after charges are brought.
DUI/DWI
MISDEMEANOR The Firm regularly provides representation to individuals charged with misdemeanors such as certain drug offenses, DUI, domestic battery, trespass, assault and petit theft.
Sex Crimes
Richard has successfully defended clients throughout the country. His practice includes charges ranging from complex white collar defense such as healthcare fraud, honest services fraud, mail and wire fraud, securities fraud, income tax fraud, RICO, money laundering and conspiracy, to homicide (including death penalty cases), narcotics violations, traffic homicide cases such as DUI manslaughter, and sex offenses. He is known for having an expertise in the defense of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, corporate executives, professional athletes and educators. Although many of his cases are "high profile," most are not.
Fraud
WHITE COLLAR CRIME The Firm has extensive experience in representing individuals and corporations charged and being investigated for what is generally referred to as "white collar offenses." These include such offenses as money laundering, healthcare fraud, honest services fraud, securities fraud, internet fraud, mortgage fraud, tax fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. Also included in this category of offenses are RICO, continuing criminal enterprises and various types of theft. We provide representation related to these offenses in both the state and federal courts.
Robbery
I have now been practicing criminal law in Florida for more than 17 years, and I am as passionate about the work as I have ever been. To me, there is nothing so rewarding as being able to take a huge burden off of a clients’ shoulders. For instance, in 2012, Amy and I began representing a client in a high-profile case here in Palm Beach. Our client, Vernon Lee Havens, was alleged to have staged an armed robbery at his own jewelry store in order to collect $5.6 million from his insurance company. When Havens came to us, he was facing charges of robbery, kidnapping, insurance fraud, and a life sentence — an overwhelming prospect for him, to say the least. After thoroughly investigating and exposing the evidence, we were able to get the charges against our client dropped, which in turn allowed him to return to his life and business. Of course, not every case is quite like this one, but I do view each as an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Being able to help people in the way that we do is an incredible reward in and of itself.
Burglary
NON WHITE COLLAR CRIMES The attorneys in the Firm often represent citizens charged with serious offenses such as homicide, narcotics violations, sexual offenses, burglary, robbery and assault, in both state and federal courts. Additionally, our Firm regularly represents individuals charged with traffic related crimes such as DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and DUI with bodily injury.
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
We cater to each client’s individual needs because we understand exactly where they’re coming from. Facing a criminal charge is a scary thing — whether it’s a misdemeanor or a capital felony. Our job is, of course, to protect our clients’ rights throughout the course of their case, but we take our service a step further. When your rights, freedom, or livelihood are at stake, you need to know that someone is on your side and there for you through every obstacle. We make a point of showing our clients that we aren’t just their legal counsel — we’re their greatest advocates, too.
