Criminal Defense Services in Winter Garden
Whether you’re facing misdemeanor charges or serious felony allegations, our team handles the full spectrum of criminal matters:
DUI Defense
Orange County prosecutes DUI aggressively. We challenge traffic stops, field sobriety tests, breathalyzer calibration, and blood draw procedures. Our attorneys have secured dismissals, acquittals, and reduced charges for DUI clients throughout West Orange County.
Drug Charges
From marijuana possession to trafficking allegations, drug charges carry consequences that extend far beyond court—affecting employment, housing, and professional licensing. We build defenses that address both immediate penalties and long-term impacts.
Domestic Violence
An arrest for domestic violence triggers immediate consequences: no-contact orders, potential job loss, and child custody complications. We move quickly to protect your rights while working toward resolution that minimizes collateral damage.
Theft Crimes
Winter Garden’s retail growth along Colonial Drive has increased theft prosecutions in the area. Whether you’re facing petit theft or grand theft charges, we develop defense strategies aimed at protecting your record and your future.
Assault and Battery
Bar altercations, neighbor disputes, road rage incidents—assault charges arise from countless situations. We examine the circumstances surrounding your arrest to build the strongest possible defense.

Felony convictions permanently alter your life. Our Board Certified criminal trial attorney has the experience to handle serious charges including aggravated battery, burglary, weapons offenses, and violent crimes.

Why Winter Garden Families Choose Conan & Herman
Exclusive Criminal Defense Focus
Some firms divide attention between criminal law, family law, personal injury, and real estate. We focus exclusively on criminal defense. This concentration means we’re in criminal courtrooms every day, staying current on legal developments and maintaining the relationships that matter.
The Attorney You Meet Is the Attorney Who Represents You
Large firms often use a bait-and-switch approach—you meet a senior partner, but an inexperienced associate handles your case. At Conan & Herman, the attorney you consult with personally represents you through resolution.
Trial-Ready Preparation
We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach ensures thorough investigation, aggressive evidence challenges, and maximum leverage during negotiations. Prosecutors know which attorneys actually try cases—and that reputation influences every negotiation.
