    Since I have represented inviduals and corporations who were being either investigated or prosecuted for criminal allegations. I have achieved the distinction of board certification as a Criminal Trial Expert, as well as serving on the committee which reviews, tests and grades Florida lawyers attempting to become board certified. I am an adjunct professor in the area of criminal law at a local law school and am a past president of the Florida Assocation of Criminal Defense Lawyers

    I represent individuals and corporations accused of crimes by the federal government. The representation has included accusations of white collar fraud, embezzlement, mail/wire fraud, drug trafficking/conspiracy, immigration fraud, murder, Dealing With The Enemy, RICO, and fraud against the government.

  • Constitutional 10%

    A considerable portion of David Fussell's criminal defense practice is ensuring that the clientis afforded the full panopaly of constitutional rights. He has, for 25+ years, investigated and litigated constitutional claims in both the criminal and civil context.

  • Sex crime 5%

  • DUI and DWI 5%

    Throughout the course of my practice I have represented individuals charged with the entire range of alcohol related offenses, including DUI, DUI Manslaughter, and Vehicular Homicide.

    Prior to the advent of the crime of domestic violence, I represented individuals who had been accused of hitting or striking their spouse. I have continued to represent such individuals since the statute was amended.
