Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Charlotte, Desoto, and Sarasota Counties and all of Southwest Florida

Richard Ruhl

Attorney At Law

I grew up in Charlotte County and was admitted to practice in Florida in 2002. After admission to the bar, I accepted a job with the Public Defender's Office, and from there, I accepted a job offer from the Law Office of Robert Distefano in Fort Lauderdale. After spending a year with Robert Distefano, I moved back to Charlotte County and have been in private practice in southwest Florida since 2003. The opportunity to serve my community brings me great satisfaction. I am a proud member of various organizations including the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Manasota Trial Lawyers. No matter what time during the day or night, I am here to make a difference in your life.

Sean Lux

Attorney At Law

I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and served as an Assistant State Attorney for over three years in both Lee and Charlotte County. During these years, I handled thousands of criminal cases ranging from DUIs and other misdemeanors to complex felony economic crimes and sex crimes. This afforded me invaluable trial experience as well as allowing me the ability to learn the inner workings of the Judicial System. I have since decided to refocus my efforts on serving the community by protecting the rights of those accused of criminal offenses. I look forward to using my knowledge, experience, and determination to help you get past whatever legal hurdle happens to be in your way.

A strong defense when you need it most

As trial attorneys, we see many individuals discriminated against and railroaded by the justice system. We're here to fight against that injustice and protect your individual rights. Even with minor charges, law enforcement's only goal is to get a conviction and move on to the next case. Whether you've been arrested or have simply been asked to "come down to the station for questioning," you need a lawyer present to ensure your rights are protected from heavy-handed interrogation tactics.

In order to make sure your rights are protected, you need the counsel of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can outline effective legal strategies against any opposition. If you have questions about your case, we will help ease your anxiety by providing the answers you need and preparing you for both hearings and trials. With us in your corner, you will never be in the dark over how your case is progressing. Together, we can help make sure you're prepared for any challenges in the road ahead.
