TALLAHASSEE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

If you have been charged with a crime in the Tallahassee area, you need a tough experienced attorney on your side to fight for your rights. Facing criminal charges can be a frightening experience. You need a lawyer who knows the law, understands the Tallahassee Criminal Justice System, and has a proven track record of successfully defending his clients.

Luke Newman is an experienced Tallahassee criminal defense attorney who began his practice in 2004 as part of a small law firm handling only criminal matters, from civil traffic infractions to murder appeals. In 2009, Luke opened his own law practice dedicated to criminal trial advocacy and criminal appeals. He is one of fewer than 70 Florida attorneys board certified by the Florida Bar in criminal appeals. He has been appointed by the Florida Bar to chair the committee which tests and evaluates other attorneys (including prosecutors and judges) seeking criminal law board certification. He has been elected by his peers to statewide leadership positions in the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and has been asked to serve a speaker on criminal defense practice at statewide seminars for other defense attorneys.
