Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Although we handle many different types of complex criminal defense matters, our firm has particular expertise in the field of white-collar crime.
• Wrongful Death
  Wrongful death is defined as “a negligent or willful act that results in the taking of an individual’s life.†Current law allows for the decedent’s heirs and beneficiaries to file an action of wrongful death against those responsible. It’s important to understand that a wrongful death action is different from criminal charges. So, a defendant that is acquitted of wrongful death in a criminal court can still be sued by the victim’s family. Rely on expert legal counsel from an experienced attorney to help you understand the complexities and gain rightful compensation.
• Traffic Violations
  In short, trucking accidents are caused by the same mistakes that cause car accidents: Reckless driving, speeding, and mechanical failures.
• Sex Crimes
  Sometimes crimes such as battery, or even sexual battery (commonly known as rape) occur because the owners of a business such as a bar or lounge, or an apartment complex, do not provide a sufficient security to protect their customers or tenants.
• Fraud
  Healthcare fraud. This can be committed through fraudulent means against government entities such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as against private insurance companies.
• White Collar Crimes
  Regardless of the scope of the alleged defense, you face harsh penalties if you are convicted of such a crime in Florida. Along with criminal penalties, your career and reputation can be ruined, your professional license lost, your reputation and livelihood destroyed, and your future limited by a permanent criminal record. At Glober + Glober, we understand the devastating effects of a white collar crime conviction and are prepared to help you fight these effects with a strategic defense.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  These types of crimes can lead to years in prison, heavy fines, restitution to alleged victims, probation for extended periods of time, and a permanent criminal record that can make future employment difficult at best. Misdemeanor crimes can lead to jail sentences of up to a year along with fines of up to $1,000. Felony white-collar crimes will involve prison terms that can range, for instance, from a maximum of five years of up 30 years and fines ranging up to $10,000, depending on the case.
• Embezzlement
• Assault
• Murder
  Confidential settlement for the family of an elderly woman murdered by an apartment maintenance worker whose employer retained him despite a history of violence and drug abuse.
• Identity Theft
  Identity theft. This involves using another’s identity to obtain their bank account funds, to obtain loans, or to purchase goods and services.
• Forgery
  Other types of white-collar crimes include Social Security fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, investment scams, conspiracy, tax evasion, and more.
• Money Laundering
  Money laundering. This is done through converting funds obtained illegally into what appears to be legal transactions, such as through a business.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability injuries may include serious (sometimes fatal ) ones. The law clearly holds those who own or manage premises responsible for maintaining the premises in a reasonably safe condition and warning of dangers that are not readily observable. Premises liability injuries can occur on residential or commercial properties, parks, healthcare facilities, public and private swimming pools, nightclubs and bars, universities, and schools.
• Property Damage
  Under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), you have the right to make a legal claim against a federal government agency if you have suffered injuries or property damage due to the negligence or wrongdoing of such an agency. The FTCA is a complex law and filing a claim against the federal government is a complicated matter that calls for an attorney who is experienced in federal tort matters.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  This system is directly opposed to an at-fault system some states follow. In this system, the party responsible for causing the accident is the one held liable for paying damages through their insurance carrier. An at-fault system works through the use of personal injury protection insurance or PIP insurance.
• Medical Malpractice
  There have been two defining moments during my career. First, serving as an Assistant United States Attorney for 26 years was very gratifying. I began my career at the U.S. Attorney’s Office as an AUSA in the Civil Division. I defended the United States in Federal Tort Claims Act cases, such as slip and fall, motor vehicle accidents and medical malpractice, and brought cases involving the False Claims Act.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated nearly 4.5 million dog bites occur in the U.S. every year.
• Slip and Fall Injury
  Florida has limits on punitive damages. In most common situations, like car accidents and slip and fall injuries, Florida has set a cap. In these cases, the total punitive damages you can receive is generally equal to either three times the amount of the compensation you are awarded, or up to $500,000, whichever amount is greater. If you are unsure about the amount of damages you would be eligible to receive, it’s best to consult an experienced Jacksonville personal injury lawyer who can answer all your questions and address any concerns you may have.
