Why Choose Drew Fritsch Law Firm?
When your freedom is on the line, experience matters. Our founder, Drew Fritsch, is a former prosecutor who understands how the other side builds a case. We use that insight to build strong defenses for our clients.
Every case we take gets personal attention. We don’t hand your case off to someone else—we work closely with you from the first meeting until the case is resolved. Our goal is simple: to help you move forward with the best possible outcome.
Criminal Offenses We Tackle
We defend a wide range of charges in both state and federal court. Some of the most common cases we handle include:
- DUI and DWI – If you’ve been arrested for drunk or impaired driving, we can help you protect your license and fight the charges. Prosecutors in Charlotte County take DUI charges seriously, and even a first offense can come with jail time, fines, and license suspension.
- Drug offenses – From possession to trafficking, we handle all types of drug-related charges. Whether your case involves marijuana, prescription drugs, or controlled substances, we can challenge unlawful searches, bad lab results, and more.
- Theft crimes – We represent clients charged with shoplifting, burglary, grand theft, and more. A theft conviction can impact your reputation, career, and future opportunities. We work to keep that from happening.
- Violent crimes – Assault, battery, and domestic violence charges can carry serious penalties. These cases often rely on conflicting witness statements or limited evidence, and we know how to break those cases down.
- Sex offenses – We provide a strong defense for clients accused of sexual misconduct or exploitation. These are high-stakes cases, and we approach them with care, discretion, and determination.
- Weapons charges – Florida has strict gun laws, and we can help if you’re facing firearm-related charges. This includes unlawful possession, concealed carry violations, or using a weapon during another crime.
- Traffic violations – Don’t let a traffic offense damage your driving record or increase your insurance. We help clients resolve tickets, license suspensions, and habitual offender issues.
- Record sealing and expungement – We help eligible clients clear their criminal records and get a fresh start. A clean record can open doors to housing, jobs, and education.
Whether you’re under investigation or already charged, we’ll step in early to protect your rights.
