It is imperative that we get to know you, your history, and your background. In my experience, by communicating with my clients and their families I have often been able to learn about the issues that have led to the situation you now find yourself in. By doing so, I have been able to work with the government to reach a resolution that often does not leave my client with a criminal record. The reason I practice criminal law is to ensure that my clients are not deprived opportunity because of a mistake. I will leave no stone unturned to ensure that you are left as unscathed as possible.

We are here to serve you; to discover your needs and to help you prioritize them so that we can reach an outcome best suited for you. Hiring an attorney is also a financial decision. While you are under the stress of prosecution, we do not seek to place you under financial stress. That is why the consultation is free and why we do Accept Payment Plans.

We promise that with our knowledge, innovation, investment, and collaboration that you will get the best outcome possible. I will not back down; I will help you get the best resolution; I will help you do an individual risk/reward analysis. We will come up with the best strategy to reach your desired result, whether that’s through a trial or negotiation.

First class law firm and experience. Mr. Bark, Mr. Carlos and the office staff were cordial, professional and prompt in all interactions. Sometimes even the smallest of incidents can be stressful and their mutual respect went a long way to level-set the situation. From the onset, Mr. Carlos was reassuring and supportive, and handled my case as if it was his most important. Leveraging his expertise and experience in Seminole County, he ultimately negotiated adjudication withheld and a minimal fine. Home run. Thank you for your great service and support, and best wishes for a prosperous future.

I really wish I could give Mr. Bark, Mr. Carlos and his office more stars. I had another attorney before Mr. Bark. My first attorney wasn't doing anything just the bare minimum. I had to fired my first attorney and found Mr. Bark through a recommendation. I'm really glad I hired them to take over my case. Mr. bark had one charge dropped within 1-2 months of hiring him. My first attorney couldn't even do that after a year. He was really easy to work with, affordable, willing to work with you, makes the process easy and less stressful. I can't say enough good things about him and his team. They were able to get all my charges dropped. My first attorney wanted me to take a plea deal. I would highly recommend him and his team to take care of your case. I will be recommending him to other people and if I ever need them in the future definitely will be calling them. Thank you so much!!

My case dominated my life for 18 months but Matt, Ethan, Troy, Julie and anyone I missed at the firm helped calm me and get my life back. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this law firm to anyone seeking the best Legal guidance in Florida. From a possible jail sentence to a fine was an amazing achievement. Thank you all!
