In Venice, Florida a man in his 30’s was greatly inconvenienced after being charged with trespassing for entering the grounds of a property he was interested in renting. The prosecutors with the State Attorney’s Office wanted to move forward with the case and offered probation and a fine as a penalty; however, the man claimed that he was not guilty of trespassing. To review his options, he sought out the legal representation of Attorney Eika Valcarcel.
Attorney Valcarcel took responsibility for handling his case, who quickly obtained a continuance to review the evidence and prepare for a trial. During the investigation, Valcarcel’s office took photographs of the sign and the property in question and determined the “No Trespassing” sign did not meet the standard size and visibility guidelines; therefore, Valcarcel effectively argued to have the trespassing charges dropped. This was a great result for the client, who was now free to move on after this incident.
"Erika Valcarcel, Criminal Defense Lawyer, P.A. is the best you will find. Erika Valcarcel is completely honest and straightforward. She took a huge burden off my shoulders many times during difficult periods of my life knowing that she was doing everything that that could and should be done. Her knowledge is extensive and her advice has always been right on the mark. She is worth every penny of the fee she charges. You cannot go wrong securing her services."

Domestic Violence Charges Dismissed in 10 Days
When a client was arrested for battery after an altercation with his girlfriend, he immediately contacted attorney Erika Valcarcel. The client was adamant that the entire situation was a misunderstanding, but nevertheless he was looking at a domestic violence conviction and potentially up to a year in jail. We acted fast on his behalf and discussed the situation with the State attorney’s office. We informed the prosecutor that our client's girlfriend did not want to proceed and highlighted the weaknesses in their case. Once they were aware of these developments, we successfully arranged to have the charges dismissed. This was all before our client's first court date and impressively all done within 10 days of the initial arrest.
