Criminal mischief charges under Florida Statute 806.13 involve allegations of willful and malicious property damage, with penalties ranging from misdemeanor charges for damage under $1,000 to felony accusations when damage exceeds $1,000 or interrupts public services, making experienced legal representation essential for Pensacola residents facing these serious allegations.

Common examples include keying vehicles, breaking windows, damaging mailboxes, or spray-painting property throughout the community.

Our defense services cover vandalism and property damage cases, graffiti and destruction of public or private property, vehicle or business property damage, domestic-related property destruction, and juvenile criminal mischief cases.

We begin each case by investigating the circumstances surrounding the alleged property damage, examining physical evidence, witness statements, and damage estimates to build the strongest possible defense. Our approach includes challenging inflated damage assessments, questioning witness identification, and exploring alternative explanations for property damage.
