Absolutely recommend this law firm!
Absolutely recommend this law firm! Our lawyer, Alex King, was truly impressive. We called on a Monday, early evening, he answered the phone. We explained our situation and he went to work for us right away. We had yet to sign the contract and he was already making phone calls that Tuesday morning. The entire office is caring and compassionate, and above all, patient with their clients. No matter how many times I called with questions about the case, they always got back to me right away.
I truly pray we never have to hire a criminal defense attorney ever again, but if we do… it will definitely be Alex King and his firm!
This is for the business First Coast Defense.

Super Attorneys
Alex King and his team are amazing! They walked me through the entire process of criminal procedure and were very attentive and always available to answer any questions I had. The entire team (Alex, Whitney, Alexis, and Brock) made me feel as though I wasn’t just another case… I am a person! I’m an ex-con with an extensive criminal history from California and was facing grand theft charges in Jacksonville. The offense carries up to 5 years in prison, 5 years of probation/parole, and a lot of fines. The team at First Coast Criminal Defense managed to plea bargain for me to receive time served (1 day) and restitution for the victim of the crime. No further jail/prison time and no probation! As far as I’m concerned, these guys are Super Attorneys! If you find yourself facing a criminal charge in Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and call First Coast Criminal Defense!
Expertise with Compassion
I can’t say enough good things about Alex King and Whitney! From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case exceeded all expectations. Mr. King is an outstanding lawyer who took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood my options at every stage. His confidence and skill in handling legal matters gave me total peace of mind. Whitney, the paralegal, was an absolute rockstar. She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and keeping me updated, which made the entire process seamless. Her warmth and attention to detail made me feel like I wasn’t just a client but someone they truly cared about. Together, Alex and Whitney make an incredible team. I couldn't be happier with the end result, and I am grateful for their help. They are responsive, approachable, and relentlessly dedicated to achieving the best outcome. If you’re looking for legal representation that combines expertise with compassion, look no further. Highly recommended!

Judge Dismisses All Charges
I was arrested for DUI on July 4th. I was neither drunk nor stoned; however, the arresting officer was convinced I was. As a result, I hired First Coast Criminal Defense. They did an amazing job, and we never had to go to trial. My drug test came back negative for all but THC. I have a medical marijuana card. The judge dismissed all charges thanks to the efforts of my attorney. I can’t thank them enough.

Handled My Nephew’s Case Exceptionally
I really appreciate the way Mr. King and Ms. Whitney handled my nephew’s case. Mr. King is very knowledgeable of the law, and he is extremely calm and patient. He listened to my input, and in the end, we got pretty much everything we requested from the judge. In addition, Ms. Whitney took a personal interest in the case, and she put together an exceptional presentation that was presented to the judge in the case. I believe her diligence and exceptional work greatly influenced the outcome of the case.

What rights do I have if charged with a felony?
If charged with a felony, you have the right to an attorney, a fair trial, and protection against self-incrimination. You are entitled to understand the charges against you and to confront witnesses.
Will a felony remain on my record?
Unless expunged or sealed, a felony typically remains on your criminal record permanently. This can affect employability, public benefits, and other areas of life.
How are felonies classified?
Felonies are often classified by degrees, with first-degree felonies being the most severe and third-degree felonies being less severe. Each degree carries different potential penalties, which can vary by jurisdiction.
