Law Offices of Roger S Elkind

Family Law

Divorce
Divorce is an emotional event in anybody’s life. What is important to remember is how this event deeply effects both parties. In 30 years of practicing law I have worked with many divorcees, providing counsel through uncontested divorces, child support, visitation, modifications of alimony, prenuptial agreements, custody issues, and domestic violence
Child Support
Child Custody and Visitation
Premarital Agreement
Spousal Support
Child Abuse

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
I have handled thousands of criminal cases in every courtroom in South Florida. For over 30 years I have built anÂ excellent reputation as a criminal defense attorney. I haveÂ handled everything from petty theft toÂ fraud and DUI.
DUI/DWI
Justice isnt necessarily equal for people charged with drunk driving. Where a driver is arrested, whether he can afford a lawyer, which lawyer he hires, which judge the case is assigned to — all can have a tremendous effect on the outcome. The Miami Herald found... read more
Traffic Violations
Attorney Roger Elkind was hired and filed several motions including a Motion to Exclude the Physical Roadside exercises, Motion in Limine to Exclude HGN tests, and Motion to Suppress for lack of Probable Cause for the arrest. The Defendant had physical injuries to both of his ankles and his leg where he had to have metal rods implanted. In addition, the Defendant counting out loud in certain sequences required the reading of Miranda after the Defendant was moved to dry land. Miranda was never read in this case. The video taken at the station showed the Defendant standing perfectly straight and answering all questions clearly. The officers admitted that his face being red could also be from being in the sun and that his eyes could be glassy and red from swimming in the salt water. In addition, the body worn camera was missing and was never made available to the Defense. The breath tests results being below.080 and the officerâ€™s inconsistent testimony during the Motion to Exclude the Roadside Exercises together with the Defendantâ€™s very good performance on the finger to nose exercise resulted in the State Attorney dropping the BUI charges and reducing the charges to Reckless Driving on March 8, 2021.
Sex Crimes
Robbery
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
I had the best experience with Mr. Roger Elkind. Three years ago today, I was referred to him. I was having a hard time finding a attorney to represent me that would not be very expensive, and willing to work with me with payments. I have been very satisfied with my plead. He got my charge of leavening the scene of accident with bodily Injury 3rd degree felony dropped down to a leaving the scene of accident misdemeanor/ withheld of adjudication. He has lots of experience, really knows the laws, and lots of patients. He would take the time to answer any questions or concerns even on his family/vacation time. He kindly helped me with any questions, and would respond right away. He always made me feel very confident with my freedom in his hands. I would recommend him to anyone. He will not let you down I promise. Such a wonderful attorney to represent me!! I canâ€™t explain how satisfied, and blown away I was with my results.
Drug Crimes
Â The Defendant was found asleep at the wheel on September 15, 2017 at a intersection and the vehicle was running and in drive.Â In fear that the vehicle could move forward two police officers blocked the front and back of the car with their police cars.Â The Defendant was observed to have eyelid tremors and suspected cannabis on his bottom lip.Â Once the vehicle was placed in parked and the door opened the officer could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle.Â Also observed were bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and disarranged clothing.Â The Defendant when asked said he had some vodkas, some beers and that he smoked some cannabis.Â The Defendant was then asked to exit and to perform field sobriety exercises and after a poor performance the Defendant was arrested for D.U.I.Â A search of the Defendantâ€™s vehicle after arrest resulted in the finding of a cannabis pipe with burnt cannabis residue but the Defendant was never charged with possession of marijuana.Â The search also revealed a 16 oz. beer can with drops of liquid inside.Â The Defendant was taken to the station and placed on video and agreed to submit to a breath test.Â The results were.063 and.058 below the legal limit of.080. The Defendant was then asked to submit to a urine test and he agreed.Â The results being a metabolite of marijuana was found in his system.
Assault
Arson
Forgery
Kidnapping
Manslaughter
The Defendant was initially represented by the Public Defenderâ€™s office for many monthsÂ and then obtained private counsel who brought in attorney Roger S. Elkind to defend. As soonÂ as Roger Elkind was brought in several motions were filed including Motions for Discovery forÂ Missing Offense incident reports, a copy of the video from a nearby gas station, and chain ofÂ custody regarding all of the blood tests taken, as well as a request for pictures of the plastic cupÂ found in the car, and Fire Rescue reports and all medical reports that include blood testing doneÂ by the hospital. In addition, at least 3 motions were filed to reinstate the Defendantâ€™s bond andÂ release him pending trial as a review of the video of the nearby gas station and the crash reportÂ indicated that there were no witnesses to the crash and the video did not show who caused theÂ crash. Only burning vehicles could be seen.Â The causation of the accident is essential to prove D.U.I. Manslaughter. Eventually theÂ State Attorney agreed that they could not prove the Defendant caused the crash and thereforeÂ could not prove that the Defendant caused the death of another human being and dropped theÂ D.U.I. Manslaughter charges and released the Defendant and reduced the charge to aÂ Misdemeanor D.U.I. The Defendant, who already served 9 months in jail waiting for his felonyÂ D.U.I. charge which carried a minimum of 4 years, had enough credit time and closed out hisÂ Misdemeanor case with standard D.U.I. penalties and did not have to go back to jail. TheÂ Defendant was free to go home and the case was won January 26, 2016.
Prostitution
Hit and Run
I have a case going on where a rental car was stolen and later learned that it was involved in a hit and run. It’s been going on for a year now, and still no motions or court dates so it’s probably going to get dropped due to lack of information.
