Criminal Defense with HJP Legal

What Sets Us Apart

Retaining the services of a qualified criminal defense attorney following an arrest is one of the most important decisions you will make. HJP Legal sets itself apart from other criminal defense firms with its unique philosophy: our primary focus is on helping you get on the track to success while alleviating the stress of criminal charges so you and your family can heal.

Halley firmly believes it is her job to take the burden of a criminal charge – like a DUI, hit and run, or domestic violence offense – off of your shoulders. She focuses in on resolving the issue in your favor in court and handles everything from the initial discussions with the District Attorney (including the charging District Attorney in many cases) even before charges are filed, to appearing for your arraignment, pre-trial conferences and all hearings on your behalf, as well as handling any administrative hearings, such as those with the DMV in DUI matters.

An arrest for a criminal offense can have a devastating effect on you, your future, and your entire family. Rather than working against the system, our approach centers around working within the system to achieve the most favorable outcome for your case. Halley truly “goes to bat” for her clients – no one will be more attentive and focused on your case and your needs than Halley.

What To Do First

When charged with criminal cases, it is crucial to promptly seek legal representation like an experienced attorney such as Halley J Peters. Depending on the specifics of your situation, HJP Legal may be able to appear on your behalf in court and any administrative hearings, as well as immediately contact the District Attorney in your matter – often before the case is filed – and stay abreast of any case developments.

Upon retaining HJP Legal, we immediately commence working on your case. Additionally, with Halley, you have access to your attorney when you need it. Ms. Peters is intimately aware of the stressors caused by criminal charges in her clients and knows that your mind must be reeling. Let Halley J. Peters and her team at HJP Legal help alleviate that stress by handling your case for you from start to finish. Our team will construct a strategic review of your case while safeguarding your freedom and constitutional rights.

What To Expect

Seldom do the clients who seek our representation from our firm fit the profile of hardened criminals. In most cases, it is the belief of Halley and her team that prisons, jails and many institutions work against our clients, and we consistently seek to avoid prisons, jails and institutions. Instead, Halley believes in restorative justice and advocating for therapeutic jurisprudence is her forte. In nearly every case, clients are much better served in the long-run by completing rehabilitative classes and serving the community rather than spending time behind bars. Halley uses this to her clients’ advantage in court and seeks the best possible outcome in every case.

We tirelessly strive to safeguard the reputation of our clients, irrespective of the charges they may be facing. We comprehend the profound impact that a criminal conviction can have on an individual and their family, as well as the individual’s livelihood and mental health.

Halley prides herself in understanding the complex legal criminal justice system, as well as the mental and physical implications that accompany criminal charges and the events leading up to the arrest.

Primarily, we always focus on helping to reduce or eliminate the charges while simultaneously bolstering our clients’ success with helpful mental health professionals, support systems, and a wide array of accessible resources in the client’s locale. Halley is familiar with local resources in Orange County, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, and always ensures clients requiring rehabilitative support or programming find the best programs to fit their needs.

Halley is not an attorney who leaves you at the courthouse wondering what the next step is – she is there for you and this dedication does not end in court.

At HJP Legal, we are passionate and dedicated to achieving the best result in your case, as well as serving as a guide through an often stressful time in our clients’ lives.
