Representative Case Outcomes

The case results listed here reflect representative outcomes from federal and state criminal defense matters handled by the Law Offices of Paul D. Petruzzi, P.A.

Our Miami federal criminal defense lawyer has decades of experience in federal courts, while our state practice covers matters in Miami-Dade, Broward, and throughout Florida.

Use the filters below to browse by category—such as Federal or Post-Conviction—or by outcome. Each case is unique, and the facts, law, and strategy vary. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes. If you are under investigation or facing charges, contact our office for a confidential consultation. We handle DUI, drug crimes, fraud, federal white-collar matters, and more throughout South Florida.

Understanding Our Case Results

Cases are organized by category: Federal matters are prosecuted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and other federal courts; State matters involve Florida state charges in Miami-Dade, Broward, and elsewhere; Appeal refers to appellate representation in the Eleventh Circuit or Florida appellate courts; and Post-Conviction includes habeas corpus, compassionate release, and other relief after conviction. Outcomes—such as dismissed, not guilty, or sentence reduction—reflect the result achieved in that specific case. We also maintain a criminal defense blog and practice guides for additional information on your rights and the legal process.
