Jeremy S. Keich is honored to help his clients with their legal problems and tirelessly advocates on behalf of his clients to protect their rights and interests. While in law school Jeremy emphasized learning the skill of trial advocacy and has continued to put an emphasis on this skill since his admission to the Florida Bar. Jeremy dedicates his practice of law to the area of criminal and civil litigation. His areas of practice include criminal defense, family law and civil litigation. Below is a list of Jeremy’s practice areas followed by his credentials.
Criminal Defense: Whether you are accused of committing a misdemeanor such as DUI, or accused of a felony such as drug possession, grand theft, robbery, or sexual offenses, Jeremy can provide you with the legal representation you deserve. Jeremy has previous legal experience as a defender and prosecutor of these crimes. Jeremy understands that criminal charges can seriously impact a person’s life and he is dedicated to trying to minimize the impact criminal charges can have on a person’s future. Should the charges that are pending against you merit a trial by a judge or jury, Jeremy is prepared to advocate on your behalf. Jeremy also handles criminal appeals. (Special note: If you are charged with a DUI you have ten days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing to preserve your privilege to drive. Jeremy can handle this hearing for you.)
Family Law: By focusing his representation on women and men, Jeremy feels he is positioned to counsel his clients concerning the complex and often emotional matters associated with family law matters. If you are an individual who is facing the difficult decision of filing for divorce, or a concerned mother or father seeking modification of child support or child custody, call Jeremy for the legal assistance you deserve.
